(S)He - Lines from 'A Turn of Poetry' by Godavar



They know not where they begin; they know not where they end

Life, like a song, a conversation in verse, flows along the meters of time

They have ever met, or never, and forever known one other, or never

This one moment is all there is, and so is the rest of eternity

They have not asked  for definitions, nor have described this unison

It is but ephemeral a sensation, it is equally everlasting

Others abound, asking for meaning, for explanation

Poetry unites, literature divides, music strengthens, lyrics weaken

Their art is their own, their heartbeat a singular tone

Ask not: Who is he? Who is she?Nay, ask Who is (s)he?
