LENS

From humble beginnings, greatness is born,

In the midst of absurdity, a new path is sworn,

On street corners and in revolving doors,

Courage and brilliance silently soars.

Oh, the absurdity of our weary days,

Awakening consciousness in mysterious ways,

A tinge of amazement in our tired souls,

In the void, a new beginning unfolds.

As time carries us with unyielding force,

A moment arrives to chart our course,

Looking towards the future, longing for tomorrow,

But present awareness brings hidden sorrow.

Oh, the absurdity of our existence clear,

In the weariness tinged with fear,

Every act a link in life's endless chain,

Awakening us to our essence, reign.

In the world's density, a strangeness grows,

Nature's beauty in the unknown shows,

The hills, the sky, the trees we see,

Revealing truths beyond what used to be.

The absurdity we use to define,

Measuring from 'death', meaning intertwine,

In this realm of exploration and transition,

Perhaps already free, just a new mission.

Oh, the absurdity, a path to navigate,

From weariness to freedom, we create,

Discovering the ultimate goal in life's flow,

Embracing the journey, letting go.

In the search for meaning, we find the spark,

A guide within the darkness, a new embark,

Through absurdity's lens, we see the light,

Transitioning from wrong to right.

Oh, the absurdity of existence's call,

From the void, a purpose to enthrall,

Finding our way, breaking the mold,

In the absurdity, our stories unfold.

Oh, the absurdity of our existence seen,

In nature's designs, a truth so keen,

The world's hostility rises above,

Teaching us the absurdity of love.
