Wordsworth-A great poet and a Metaphysicist

The great poet Wordsworth had a saintly vision in him. In his poem "Intimations of Immortality" he says, "Our birth is but a sleep and forgetting". He is simply stating  the truth so effectively.
As soon as we land on this earth we completely forget about our past. We do not have any clue as to wherefrom we came and as the time passes we forget what for we are here. We think we are here to enjoy. We indulge in material pleasures with so much enthusiasm we completely drown ourselves in worldly activities. We keep ourselves so busy, we do not have the patience to hear our own inner voice that tries to remind us about our forgotten truth.

"The world is too much with us"- It is the title of Wordsworth's another poem. The title itself answers our above concern. The metaphysical awareness of the poet draws the reader's attention to stop and think about the illusory life we are leading.

"HOPE"

Thoughts covered by fog
darkening the atmosphere!

Like a blind man wandering on
the street without walking stick
I am moving
not knowing whether
I am treading forward or backward!

It's just a blind faith
not more than that!
It may lead me to 'nowhere'
or 'somewhere'!
Let me hope it is for better!

"METAMORPHOSIS"

Change overs are very amazing!
Some visible; some invisible;
some slow; some fast!

Prickly caterpillar converting
into a beautiful silky butterfly;
a tiny seed developing into a big tree;
A seed like embryo transformed into a pretty child;
all quite intriguing, surprising secrets of nature!

Whether sweetness converted into honey or honey into sweetness or both the perceptions of the tongue?

Is that vast space within some invisible boundary or
the boundary within that space or both in the eyes of the beholder?
Or are these eyes inside the intellect;
intellect in these eyes or everything in something else which we do not know!
