Imagine a world devoid of knowledge;
A person born amongst hundreds;
All present at once into a world without a past…
What are your first thoughts?
What are the first thoughts of the mass?
A world like ours knows not this silent thought
Pensiveness without words;
Sensation and feeling abound, but unheard.
Style unknown, much less grandiloquence,
What drives us but innate impulses towards existence;
Living is the only unsheathed goal.
The first open eye has thrown us forward into the light
Pushed in a spiral descent, ascent flight…
Communications crossed, babbling speech makes no sense even while we listen…
What Qu’ran, Bible, Tao Te Ching, Bhagavad Gita, or Torah guides our steps?
What sounds makes the heart of our minds glisten?
Step by step acquisitions of gnosis, experiential reality;
No Newton’s law to define for us the law of gravity…
The Prophet has never been anticipated nor does Elijah foresee
No Muhammad, nor Buddha to trace the route to eternity…
We take our first steps on this road to the endless…
We face each other naked and blind to duress…
We discover ourselves and our desires and our dreams…
We interpret, we perceive…
We continue to be…
