The spirit survives the timeless <br />The phenomenon of existence <br />In the self when it goes mortal <br />Since time treads its own pace <br />From the momentary to eternal <br />Life is divided into small notes <br />In chords or played individually <br />Harmony in the cosmos of things <br />History is but rendition of events <br />In the spirit enters the being <br />From non being with each soul <br />From one form to another <br />And from another to the next <br />Is that to evolve is of the form <br />When form no more remains <br />Where shall then the spirit <br />Living is the abstraction of spirit <br />Seas of spirits that continue <br />In the magnificence as it unfolds <br />For the discerning is the spirit <br />Within to the vision of flight <br />The horse with wings on distant <br />Look to how it flies beneath <br />For the beauty that is in sight <br />22/4/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-spirit-10/
