A WORLD BEYOND! <br />Between the confines of life and death, <br />There lies innumerable cycles of life itself! <br />That extols life with its infinite evolving <br />multiplicity, <br />Creating the illusion of immortality; <br />A grandeur of infinity - perhaps to ease the <br />sting of death! <br />And when we close our eyes, beyond our <br />leaden eyelids lie, - <br />The infinite and inexhaustible world of <br />dreams! <br />That dream world, a virtual parallel universe, <br />About which our scientists ceaselessly speculate! <br />A world of fantasy which is reached, - <br />Through the mysterious tunnels of our <br />subconscious mind! <br />That world beyond life and death which lies <br />immune, <br />To our mundane world of pain and suffering! <br />An immortal gift of the Gods to us mortal men! <br />For a man’s dreams should exceed his grasp, <br />Or what’s a Heaven for? ! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> 02 Dec 09 <br /> New Delhi<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-world-beyond/
