Life, A Void Circle Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Life, A Void Circle

Rating: 5.0


Life is a void circle,
I am at its center.
So, it's no matter
If the circle is
Bigger or smaller,
I remain at its center.

At no point can I
Intersect its circumference,
As I am equidistant
From any point on it,
And the distance is constant.
Big or small, same resultant.

So I better quietly lie
At my predestined position,
And build my home in void.
Now, no point asking myself,
What kind of a home is this
That I've built in emptiness!

Life is a void circle.
I live in its emptiness.
Life revolves around me,
Me, its center of gravity.
Life is a journey,
From here to eternity.

Living in a void, never getting any closer to anything else. It sounds so lonely and sad. Someone must take a pie shaped slice from your lonely circle so you can find a way out.

Though it may sound pessimistic but the harsh truth is like that only, like or not, doesn't matter, we have to pass through it.... very well written
