Analysis of The Light In The Dark Forest
The psychic tornado is of no importance ,
As the Farmer of death harvests life ,
Where to stay in vacant desert ,
But for love ,-we all are waifs .
The budding geographies tempt chemistry ,
And the haggard history loiter as corpse ,
The discovered island alone ,alone stands ,
The static-transil -stone gathers moss .
The chaffy crops of bygone past ,
Are iced in Egyptian mummy ,
The dark forest of the primitive barbarians ,
Through reasoned-evolution turns more gloomy .
Hello Christ !
Hello Bhddha ,
Hello Sri Ramakrishna the Divines ,
Impel and awaken us with nectar wine .
