Quatrains 1161-1180: 1161 What speeds on in the buried veins is the legacy of Seth Impounded by Cain’s hounds yet deified in the hands of Beth Nights and days of time it seems appear in the guise of life and death What zigzags in mind becomes memory of each throb and breath. 1162 Temptation of eternity ended in the mortal gift Searching for everlasting life mortality caused another rift Truth is a mirage in sandy facts that like the sand must shift Can goodness be the aim of life and true feelings soul uplift! 1163 Cerberus with its hawkish eyes still guards Hades labyrinth One way traffic is the usual norm all toil under the terebinth Nothing escapes the turning quern as convoys rub past the plinth What gapes in the dark empire is the legend of the hyacinth. 1164 Deprived human to preserve himself always finds some excuse Reason drives him to desperation or become a recluse Blindfolded ignorant man life has continued to abuse Treat earth as a hostage its resources pillage and misuse. 1165 Comma with its curved head restrains words that tend to run free Mind locks pensive thoughts in eyes as history chats in life’s tree Sun’s rays hunt the foaming waves as they dance in the blue sea Gusts embrace the frozen stones when heart develops sympathy. 1166 Light’s rays trying to escape death in never ending darkness run Planets in space are prodigal children of the dying sun Time has no destiny in life’s long battle it nothing has won Nature has no throbbing heart yet it cares for everyone. 1167 Time evolved miracle of blood is pushed again and again Suckled by springs of paradise it knew not life abounds in pain Innocence is time’s fading blush that heaven fails to maintain Despite the turning wheel of life it tries its aim to attain. 1168 Heart had no choice so it buried its breath in the soft cool breeze When what the warm throb had sponsored had for long outlived its short lease Even time minus gravity time’s impetus could not increase Holy moment wished that its life in that very moment could cease. 1169 Merciful Creator bless them more who have hurt me the most Extinguish the fire of revenge that burns in the angry host Fire of hatred destroys soul in it there is nothing to boast Help mankind to live in peace and not plan for a quick riposte. 1170 Who has the courage to oppose the crushing wheel of fate Turning with the turning wheel life alone fate can frustrate It becomes part of the turn that wins that with love buries hate Sea’s cohesiveness drowns to win mortals must lie low and wait. 1171 Time’s fury sparkling in diamonds kisses roots of the ash tree What jaws crush for hungry guts warm blood accepts to some degree Carnal eyes teased by beauty go beyond closed doors to see Sparkling carnival to which all seasons and elements agree. 1172 The unnecessary active is fulcrum of what is still Daybreak unseals the routine that is sponsored by the unseen will The complex is ruled by complexes that drive the rational mill It for the sake of peppered goodness the humane self must kill. 1173 The rolling waves roll on the freedom of others to suppress The logic chopping monster has querns that with reason cause the mess When Leviathan roars in the guts all senses their needs express When light is murdered by darkness then who can our needs address. 1174 Kindness sacrament of peace is a universal desire It is the artistic legacy of the white ash in fire Mercy is the fruit of this emotion that mortals desire It is the wish of the universe that planets acquire. 1175 Animals are also conscious and like humans they too feel Garroted by senses their mind to them thoughts does not reveal Humans can see perfection although death their fate will seal Living for others they discover pure heart can better deal. 1176 Should fire light or burn away its past full of fiery disgrace Fed on blood evolution carves innocence life to embrace Fire raging behind bones urges blood its heritage to outpace Faith has its root in present that prints its image on time’s face. 1177 Selfishly raised intelligence in due time learns to contend It has to prove its own brand of truth so it has to pretend It has no choice but to attack its own values to defend Despite its prowess it never can bow of Ulysses bend. 1178 I wish I could drown consciousness in gravity of my soul I wish time could retrieve one vague moment that death from life stole I wish values the universe in their unseen school enroll Help life regain lost dignity and redefine time’s true goal. 1179 Light is not eternity it cannot for ever run Context cased it ceases before its solemn task is done Darkness is the wise womb of time by whom still more light is spun It seems that a dream constantly moves between the naught and one. 1180 Speeding fury of light stunned by gravity becomes time’s will The fangs and canines hurtling in veins continue to kill Light and darkness play hide and seek in life’s celestial mill Yet in the soft embrace of stillness both throb and life stand still.
