POEM

Soaring Up

Routines of skipping along aisles
Humdrum clockwork doings
Picking up goods : those existential necessities.
Sound of a solitary guitar played by
The one who is the apple of your soul
 Upthrusts the Being, weightless, like ribbons
 Floating carelessly in the wind.
 A Poet levitates as he composes
 Through the Anti-gravity of the vistas
 Opened out from the closed
 Spaces stacked up in his Mind.
 Osprey Chip :  433 qubit born from
 The intangible Binary  :  Words and Numbers
 Embedded in it, calculating furiously
 Makes it possible to construct structures
 Unknown before, the algorithmic binary processing began.
 Now, this moment, it is only your penetrating look
 That releases the Other
 From Unreality to a thriving Being
