Whispers of 10,000 Generations

An evocative poem by Abhik. Here’s a lyric with epic sensibility, in Different Truths.

Whispers of 10,000 generations
Lead me to my garden
Oh space of knowledge and thought
Strike me, I ask ardent.

Ages pass
Universes flow
The will of humanity
Makes clocks go

Water is water
It flows in you, it flows in me
Universe I created
To perceive my entropy

Time and mathematics
Science and philosophy
Wrongly consumed
In the end I know

Strike me free of Notion
Strike me free of comprehension
Enter all, enter none
As I restart the cosmic motion.
