Nothing stands alone,
Nothing can just be.
It's all a part of One,
Open your eyes and see.
Its the same everywhere,
And yet there is doubt.
They said it long ago,
As within so without.
The innocent cat closes her eyes,
And stealthily licks the milk.
She knows she's watched all along,
Yet she refuses to belong to the ilk.
The human is no different, yes!
Evading and putting on a pout.
He knows they said it long ago,
As within so without.
Someday the sleep will come to an end,
And he would have to rise on his feet.
But the reality would be too strong then,
A smack he may not be able to beat.
But does it mean it ends right there?
As if the emptiness was a bout.
It will still resonate again and again,
As within so without...
As within so without...

Hey cool poem da!quite indepth! Keep 'em coming!
"As within so without" is a rhythmic gem that not only resonates in mind long after the read but also takes on multiple meanings, depending on a person's understanding at that point of time.
"Someday the sleep will end" but may be then, the reality will be too strong to bear. :-)
A very very well composed poem with lots of thought provoking lines. A masterpiece!!!!
