Supposition

Poem Artwork

 What if the world began,  

not with the fiery birth of stars,  
nor the silent shift of oceans  
on stony shores,  
but with the whisper of wings,  
a soft breath,  
on the verge of being?
 
What if creation itself  
was not a burst of brilliance,  
but a slow unfurling,  
a delicate revealing  
of the hidden and unseen,  
like the opening of a hand,  
or the gentle turn of a face  
towards the light?
 
Would we then see the world,  
not as a place of boundaries,  
but as a field of whispers,  
where each breath, each sigh,  
becomes part of the endless story,  
the quiet song  
of what it means  
to be alive?

I'm entranced by the idea of such a gentle beginning. Wonderfully penned, Debashish.

I first read this piece some weeks ago on ‘Poetry Life and Times.’ It has (for me) the quality of a reverie - a kind of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing - that brings the reader to the final mystery. What it means to be alive is certainly a multifaceted topic, which can easily open a floodgate of ‘dive into deep water’ philosophical musings. I choose instead to share something I heard as a child, a quote from Dr. Seuss that still rings clarion: “Today you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alive that is you-er than you.” Thank you for sharing this. Peace…. rlc

As primitive mammalian life forms with equally primitive awareness and intelligence (on a theoretical cosmic scale), all we can do, when the Universal Questions of "what", "why" and "how" arise is retreat to a flimsy (if superable) fortress fabricated from the works of Aurelius, Montaigne and Lao Tzu and seek comfort therein...pausing now and then to admire and absorb such serene spiritual balms we are offered here. [As Schopenhauer famously never said, Better a supposition than a suppository!] Another excellent work, Debashish!
