” The Shadow and The Screen.”

By gdesai

 

                            Is God, truely something real?

                           Or is He just a figment of my mind!

                           An answer to this, I hope, I wish

                           Some day I really could find.

 

                           To me, God is nothing but

                           A huge transparent screen,

                           Where a shadow of this world is cast

                           Which creates a wonderful scene.

 

                           There is not a moment in time

                           When absent is this screen.

                           But because it is too transparent

                           It always remains unseen.

 

                           I know, this shadow is an illusion

                           And that screen is the solemn truth,

                           But how can I with my feeble mind

                           Furnish you with a valid proof !

 

                           When muddled mind casting its shadow

                           Will become transparently clean,

                           And thus, unable to cast its shadow

                           Surely will merge into that screen.
