Equanimity

Once secluded locked away from sham,
Albeit radiance always fell on the cave;
Breathed suspended particles swayed,
With sound of water & smell of graves.

A noise tickled ear breaking slumber,
Of what that could be which resonated;
Rummaged around, up & down on hill,
Did for some time till momentarily faded.

There were no fleshes & was no gold,
On such side why one shalt arrive!
Equanimity what's treasure one pursued,
To traverse not back but forth in time.

Where medieval lives to postmodernism,
Liquefied as if there were no time lapse;
What was 'AS IS' & what's Engineered!
Who was Wounded & Who duped all in trap.

Who negated laissez-faire but compelled the rest,
While flourishing in scents away thousands miles;
Craved for Equanimity but there was nowhere,
To hide the tears or salvage from sulking times.

There was this cave that breathed light,
No glittering artefacts or orgasmic sight;
Momentous noise entered unburdened,
There was no hill alike, no more survived.
