Finite


I kept on counting him
Like number of birds
Perching perilously on a branch
Or like syllables
In a piece of poetry
…………………………….
But then
I regret
For all the wasted moments
As one day
He whispered of his “infinity”!
I felt betrayed
Disillusioned
Desperate
Something “finite” would be more comforting
For I can feel the infinite
Only through the finite
I am too “finite” to be the other way!

      Well...that's consoling dear....infinity leaves spaces for unfamiliarity which is sometimes a bliss:) Like ignorance being a bliss:) I feel positive:)

    Nasnin, I sometimes feel like reading a Greek scholar when you dole out these philosophical words:)

    P.S. ~ Loved the "syllables in a piece of poetry" because I've been doing a lot of that lately ;) He he!

      Actually I didn't intend to capture any philosophy here. It just came as a line of thought. May be I have read some philosophy long back and it returned like this...I don't know....sometimes I am a mess that it's difficult for me to stackout my original thoughts;)After all thoughts are rarely "original" na;)

      I loved your observation Israr:) You made me think on it:)

    Very beautifully composed poem which explains how finite is different from infinite.
