The Truth

 

Dr. V. V. R. PRASADA RAO

 

This single sunbeam of unique whiteness

Was all purity and integration

Till it touched and befriended

That wicked glass-piece

Refracting the multi-coloured lie.

 

It is as easy to miss the ring and the wristlet

As to miss the gold.

 

Between the pond and the Pacific

Truth lies interred in her watery grave.

 

Delving deep into the depression of divergence

Kicking for breath and clutching at the drowning straws,

I thought I was lost in the boundless abyss

Of billowy ignorance.

But something pushed me up, and I began to see light.

Was it because of the pearl that I held in my grip

In that terrible test of endurance?

 

There are two lips but one voice.

There are two ears, but hearing is one.

There are two eyes, but sight is one.

What is the Truth? The BI, the DI or the UNI?

The Pearl truly, is one and not many.
