VERTIGO.

Vision of a blurred firmament,
escaping the dark ironies of life
shelved almost constantly in paradox
of an intellectual struggle
between faith and reason.

Of Struggle—
deep and profound,
extracting until it reaches the end
unearthing the innermost core,
the subzero terrain.

The Answers—
sought ad infinitum,
obscured by the mores of the wicked clothed in white,
undiscerned, remained volatile
and incomprehensible to the intellect of man.

Of Man—
who is created by a god in his image and likeness,
or who created a god in his image and likeness.

Explanations from a
Temporal world—
of corporeal substance and material longing,
of ephemeral pleasure and momentary satisfaction,
of climactic means and orgasmic ends.

The mind yearns for the unifying essence.
Struggling with life’s ultimate paradox:
to answer what seemed unanswerable.
Trying to grasp the absolute,
and to encapsulate the meaning of life and living.
