Endless blue when I think too much
Feverish fatigue of not knowing it all sets in
So I borrow somebody’s evolved thought to say goodbye blue
An endless string of pearls is the image of the universe
In hopes of knowing it all, we greed for every thought
forgetting that each pearl holds the reflection of all the infinite pearls
So I focus on one thought this time, explore it in my dream
Glitched stream of consciousness, unbridled energy
Seeing reflections of the beginning and the end. All. In. One. Flow.
NaPoWriMo Day 20: Write a sijo. The sijo (Korean 시조, pronounced SHEE-jo) is a traditional three-line Korean poetic form typically exploring cosmological, metaphysical, or pastoral themes. Like the haiku, it has three lines, but the lines are much longer. Typically, they are 14-16 syllables, and optimally each line will consist of two parts – like two sentences, or a sentence of two clauses divided by a comma.
I jumped at the mention of metaphysical and wrote this Sijo. Probably spent the most amount of time I’ve spent on a poem since I wanted every word to be there for a reason. Hope you all like it!

Goosebumps. thank you
Wow, glad that my words spoke to you 🙂
it’s a lovely post. Thank you for sharing💖👍
I love it, Rahul. My favorite line is “each pearl holds the reflection of all the infinite pearls”. It reminds me of the concept of fractals. Wonderful. I enjoyed this prompt, too.
Yes and that’s how we should approach a lot of things in life, by observing things that are naturally present in nature 🙂 Thanks for reading it!
Wonderful again…congratulation on the featured
Thank you!!
Welcome
Congratulations on being featured!
Thank you so much Smitha. And also for always reading 🙂
Well deserved 🙂
Really good Rahul, certainly made me think. A second thoughtful reading brought out more of the depth for me. Pondering on the vastness of the universe , yet it all being captured in the small detail – Love it. Well done.

So glad you read it twice. Thank you!
I’ve come to know you through your poetry, so when I say that this one is so Rahul-esque, I hope you take that as my best compliment. Gosh. One and the other (like those pearls, a more fitting word for what we are, does not exist!) — we are each other– a reflection of one another. Fools we are to be claiming that one of us is better than the other. Humanity. One Race! Thanks so very much for publishing this one. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Keep going. All the best. I wish you miracles Rahul. Sincerely, Selma.
Oh my. Rahul-esque, I like that a style is coming across 🖤 yes we are one! Thank you for your lovely comment. I enjoy them more than I enjoy writing my poetry now it seems. You’re a lovely soul 💫
As are you. Be well. I wish you miracles.
Exquisite. Especially the ending. Rumi is smiling at you.
Aah this made my day :’)
Such a blessing to discover you!
Lovely to see other featured Napowrimo commenting here too, congratulations on the featured poem – love the vastness you conveyed here in such short form poetry.
Yes it’s lovely for people to drop what they think about my little poem. Glad you could find the vastness in it 🖤
Thank you Rahul and all the responders. Indeed…
What is present naturally, is an inestimable present!
Thank you so much! For sure 💫
