ABSENCE (Mehar)

# # # # 

Much harder 

To detect is

The 'Absence' 

Than the 'Presence',

Emphasis is

Greater on 

What is present 

than

What is absent. 

Experienced always is 

Presence of pain

But never recognized

The absence of pain.

What exists means

To us 

A lot more than

What is missing,

Oh ! this is 'feature-positive-effect'.

Why does something 

And not nothing exist ?

Why to ignore absence 

While the presence persist ?

Ode of Beethoven's

Ninth Symphony 

Manifested tears of joy

Do the joy feel miss

The Symphony 

If not at all composed ?

~~~~~~~~

Let us adopt 

Perceiving non events too,

Let us not be blind to 

What apparently exists not. 

For a wholesome 

Thought process

The reality of  'absence' 

To get recognition too. 

Can't  we be happier 

Can't er be more effective 

By thinking adequately 

About the invisible dimension 

Than just locking ourselves 

In the cage of presence ?
