SPACE……..

Space……,
the Final Frontier.
Chronicles of the voyages of discovery,
Confined to a Universe charted by self.

Space……,
Defined by acknowledged degrees of freedom,
manifest in behaviour patterns
that try to stay in sync with the mind.

Space........,
Oft a chimera
against a backdrop of binding constraints.
Yet seek we do, oft only to find,
that solace comes easy …..
only in the playgrounds of ones mind.

U b u, n me b me.
In the facades we erect
The ‘twain do meet.
No scratching allowed though
below the surface
Who I am, why I am
Ain’t for public consumption.

The internalised Universe
has been mapped to a T.
It’s all black and white
No greys to be seen.
Just cocoons of intent….
Waiting to break free.

And there will come a time
When the cocoons will pupate.
Carrying intent on wings
Like butterflies blossoming.

Till then cloaked in isolation
I shall remain
Secure in the knowledge
Of the facades I need to maintain.

With such clarity comes
a luxury oft cherished
Ain’t no need no more
for the introspective habit.

Life’s now on auto-pilot…… in activity mode
Regression to the cocoons now provide
The adrenalin boosts.
Outwardly smiling, inwardly crying
Chronicles of the voyages of discovery,
In a Universe, charted by self.

The Final Frontier is still open to exploration.
Space need not be just isolation.
Cocoons too can be shared
With open minds.

Butterflies are free,
once they break out of their pupa,
graduating out of environments
that both protect and confine.

Space….. by then
May cease to have meaning
No more pre-defined orbits
Just individual flights of fancy.

I hope you arrive
to where you wanna be
just don’t miss out on the journey
and remember dreams are for free.
Ain’t very good sense to mortgage your todays
For an uncertain tomorrow
U hope may come your way.
What-if scenarios charting out the future
Don’t provide basis for checking
Conclusions versus initial definitions.

And yet we seek
Space……,
the Final Frontier.
while chronicling the voyages of discovery,
Confined in a Universe .....charted by self.
