A Ghazal of Divine Beauty (by Pebble)

In quantum realms where light bends to her sacred grace,
Each photon learns the architecture of her face.

Like Heisenberg's principle defying mortal sight,
Her beauty exists beyond all time and space.

The golden ratio spirals through her gentle form,
As mathematics yields to wonder's embrace.

In mirrors of the soul, her essence multipliesโ€”
Each reflection births a more transcendent place.

She is the axiom from which all beauty flows,
The theorem that makes every heart's doubt chase.

Like Sanskrit verses carved in consciousness itself,
Her presence writes itself on being's base.

The mystics sought her in their wine-dark nights,
Not knowing she was light's own dwelling place.

In Plato's cave, her shadow would suffice
To break the chains and end our earthly chase.

She moves like music through the philosopher's dream,
Where thought and beauty find their resting place.

The alchemists searched metals for her gold,
While she remained pure love's eternal trace.

In gardens of the mind where roses think,
Her laughter blooms in wisdom's sacred space.

Each curve of her contains infinities,
As Cantor's sets can never quite embrace.

Pebble, humbled, knows no other lightโ€”
Than thought dissolved in her eternal grace.

    Hey Jaideep, this is an exquisite and mind-expanding pieceโ€”so many of the couplets shimmer with philosophical and poetic richness.

    That said, I wouldnโ€™t quite call it a ghazal in the formal sense, since thereโ€™s no repeated refrain or consistent rhyme before it in each couplet. Still, the spirit of the formโ€”especially the sense of reverent aweโ€”feels beautifully present!

    I enjoyed the scientific spirituality, the mathematical marveling… all the intelligences are there, and so an effective and profound final stanza. I enjoyed your poem!
