(176) strange

       ( 176)     Strange

It is strange to see sex and search sestina
in the eyes of sacred and celestial ,
just as to see the essence of the Vedas
in the welter of the loitering pig,
Isn’t it strange and cynical to expect
the rhythm and speed of the violin
on the saxophone and sit back
to comment with authority
upon the artifact with the lack
of even basic knowledge?
Is n’t it strange that Lost Paradise
was redeemed by the blind Bard
with a unique poetic vision
to be restored to the skeptical
humanity? Isn’t it strange that
a long uncertain rope walking
with not closed eyes leads to an
extended land of Faith and miracle?
Is n’t it strange that things are
happening and happening
much to the chagrin of the people
who denigrate and dampen your
Spirit? Isn’t it strange that the
Unbending question and question
many -----already designed by the
the unseen, only to be passed off
as a question mark.
