Absent Minds

what are the stars,
the blue skies and the moon?
those vast oceans
and snow mountains?

the sunset and sunrise?
what are they, if there was none to surmise?
who'd care if
they're in or out of constellations?
or whether
they're imaginations of creations!

their importance, grandeur or existence
were never worth in life's absence!
While observing fellow Indians tramp along this beach near Thiruvananthapuram enjoying its beauty
Imagine beaches with no foot prints
no crab, snail or turtle trails.
Neither corals, celebrating the shallows
nor any fish, illuminating those depths!
And there never existed a mind to imagine this!

absent life => absent minds => absent pleasure => absent value => absent importance => absent grandeur => absent worship => absent creator

ah thts so true. it reminds me of tht question, "if a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody to hear it, does it still make a sound?"

its interesting how its ppl's minds that define and give importance to things in this world.

totally! its always people and about people.
Also, in this vast world, some people get too impatient and arrogant to call their interests to be "best". some go further and call everything else "worthless", some go even further and try to change others' minds/interests!
