Eternal Bliss (Haiku)

-










The thought behind the short poem “Eternal Bliss”

In a rainy twilight, the sky was completely full of hues of the setting sun, say, yellow, orange, red, purple, violet and so on and so forth. It was a blissful experience. Right then, a shower began pouring all over city. Every drop of shower appeared to be golden in tint. It felt as if they were nothing but golden “honeydew” falling from the sky. The term “honeydew” appears in the last few lines of the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. However, if we try indeed to find natural beauty for enjoying to our hearts’ content, Nature never does feel husbandry to satisfy our thirst. Nature loves us truly. We are the disobedient children. If we love her back, just imagine, how much blessed we all will become. There is beauty everywhere. We need to grab them with our thirsty eyes. If we feel the thirst indeed, Nature is there, for sure, to quench our hunger, to quench our thirst eternally.

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
