The Essence of Life

The poem -- "The Essence of Life"


The azure canopy hung from above
Whispers into our ears of Divine Love.
How is it that all birds feel free, 
When we, the humans, try to flee? 
What is wrong, what is right, 
Can't be gained when we fight; 
If we learn from each trifle, 
None can ever do us baffle, 
For none is born perfect; 
We all function like an insect, 
As vile grips us in its fire, 
Rendering us with ill desire.
If we wish, we may learn; 
From each naive thing, we may earn
Wisdom rather than mere knowledge; 
Without making a quest for privilege, 
O Lord, can't we have divine wings? 
One gains success when one clings
To one's principle and aim.
With the birds, let's be the same, 
And one, and identical, 
But never detrimental.
We were born, we will die; 
One day in dust we will lie.
What is mortal, what is not? 
One day all'll be brought to naught.
Over-usage of eternity's too tedious; 
Hence, look up and be melodious
In life rather than sapless.
Nothing is hopeful, nothing is hapless -
Let's all be in divine mirth; 
Death's not too far away from birth.

Prayer of A Fallen Individual

-

The poem in a nutshell The poem is nothing but an earnest prayer of a fallen person or a fallen human being to the Supreme Soul. The human being, corrupt through and through, prays to the Omnipotent for forgiveness and moral teachings. The person here states his fallen state in a plaintive voice. None but God can save him / her from such a fallen state. The Lord is aware of everything. He is omniscient and omnipresent. Hence, the prayer is to lift him / her up from such a state. The poem -- "Prayer of A Fallen Individual" I'm forsaken as Atlantis;  I'm fading away like The sun going down;  I'm deserted as An abandoned tragedy;  I'm lifeless just Like a grey shadow;  I've lost my identity In the midst of Names numberless. Lift me up on Your shoulders;  Hold me firm With Your hands;  Keep me fast With Your velocity;  Pacify my soul With Your eyes;  Fill me up W

They are getting extinct day by day. The poem - "Long Live!" Marsh and land, where they used to lie, Have both become man’s usurped wealth; Urbanization’s made them die, Just for man’s selfish, brutal stealth. Lo! The nature’s more colorful, If frogs and newts – all are around; Each thing will become wonderful, When caecilians – safe and sound. If there’s no biodiversity, One day, man’ll too become extinct; Mark that frogs also have beauty; Just think: the m
