Recognition
-Rehanul Hoque
I became yours as soon as opened my eyes
I know you have boundless
To a great extent fake, I’m genuine
How do you distinguish?

You will find me on the barrier standing between
Gushes of Gibraltar issued forth in 45° reciprocal angle in order that
Atlantic and Mediterranean do not mingle-

If you dive deep in a sea you will find me
In its abyss where layers of darkness topped by
Patches of cloud prevail so much so that you fail
To recognize your own hand
On a sudden you will find someone holding
Your hand to open the closet of light
-that is but me.

Proceeding further you will see the quantum earth
Tends to uncertainties, embarked on horizon to get vanished
Like a drop of water, yet I will return
Like blobs of love splashed down
Your deserted corner-

Again, I can be detected amidst
The motion of gaseous expansion- far and wide or measured
In a Plank scale the mammoth release of mass, energy,
Space and time; if you plumb deeper inside you will find me
Within the twist of a flex governed by a binding force
Crunched in singularity-

I will stand in the balance of
Spiral disc galactic navigation, partake in
The merriment of carbon and nitrogen
To unite with oxygen, phosphorus and hydrogen-

If you go beyond you will find me
Sitting in between the base pairs of
DNA, in the arduous task of chastening
The wicked gene- others are enjoined to do
The same but you will find only this fellow
Serving the purpose to split clouds into pieces
Or fuse together like that of the panting wind
Laden with hump, fecundating flower-

You will see me penetrating like Cupid,
A scissor incising the cord bearing nourishment to decidua
Or a blade cleaving asunder blisters and foils
Leading to an outgrowth of cells-
I will assume the form of a shadow
Prostrate, invoke to prostrate
For life is a spooky adventure
If fails to trek the umbrageous route.
