For Bakang

Embrace the physical. Touch becomes the purveyor of truth? The intangible is unfathomable, Non-believable. An unwavering debate. Lucidity in man's wisdom? Evolution and science, Logic and nature. Still I come away restless. Who brought forth that first? Hmmmm... Doubt is easy. Doubt depicts no evil But to belive is harder yet. A persistent gnawing at an affected knowledge Bitter reminiscence of pleas ignored Favours bestowed - the unexpected, the undeserved; Oft bypassed. As she lingers, I hear no dissenting voice of reason Merely peace. In its quiet, lurid awakening, clarity pronounces an affirmation "I am" for He is. This poem came about because I read "Are you for real" by Bakang...so well this is really an attempt to reply, see if he can hear something of what I have to say and then to say "Thank you" cos if I hadn't read his, I wouldn't have written this.
