The Abstract

Tried to dive deeper
Tried to dig hard
But you could never reach it
You could just play a part
You thought it’s illusion
You mocked its presence
But you only got delusion
It never made a sense

It was abstract
And only when the depths themselves climb up,
and ensnare you and bewitch you
Would you be able to see it for fact.

  2. Thats a very generous comment...
    I wrote this just while skimming the surface, and could feel the anguish of not being able to reach the depth...
    Really intresting to know about Rodin's thinker and the analogy ;), more to come on the ability to think...

  3. full points for the dexterity to convincingly render own/characters’ mental states on the page.
    well collocated thought.
    what i feel.. there should be next 4/8 lines (may be another one with title as Abstractum grasped!! or _____..)..which depicts the abstract scene when depths (themselves) climb up..
