Coming to terms with life

[GEETASHREE]

In the meandering alleys of mind
No thoughts wander alive
No lugubrious musings of the past
No exaggerated worries of the present
No dreadful demands of the future
No buried dreams tug the shores of sanity
No litany of woes drones the broken heart
No crushed and crumpled vanity
No venomous vengeful raging ruse
No pilferage of agony-hangover let loose
No angst, no meaningless consolation
No vehement protests; no turning away from reality
A vacuum, a void, a vivid nothingness perhaps
No not even that; just me and myself
In oneness in peace with my own innermost self,
(Atonement they say it is)
Agile, active, sprightly, agog, wondrous
Perhaps joyous too in a calm and quiet way
A stoic? A transformation probably
To saintly cogitation; almost God-like in
Manifestation, no expectations either
Of lucrative proposition, temptations too scurry past
Apotheosis ? Oh is this? A true, triumphal cross-over
From human to being supra-human?
I do not know what it is, but may be in simple
Parlance, I have come to terms with life

[Biefall]

A mind being comfortably numb and calling it a draw with life.
Was it because life is easier without feeling?

...It reminds of a Milan kundera's book.

[GEETASHREE]

Yes, sometimes may be

Geeta, this is beautiful and sublime. Thank you for sharing this poem. It is very inspiring!

...

It also reminds me of some of Sri Aurobindo's poetry..

Big question is if it is you and yourself, or something else. Supra-human, or sub-human? A coming to terms--or is it a surrender to violation, and might makes right?
