A Presage (Tanka)

Image
  A Few Words Sometimes, I wonder, well, we all wonder how heartless we have been, how heartless we still are to our Mother Nature, our comforter, our benefactor and our angel. How is it that we, the so-called humans, become such ingrates? We all must keep it in mind that one day, sooner or later, the tables are supposed to turn. We can no more complain because it is we who are responsible for the consequences. How can we think, why do we wonder of being forgiven over and over again? The five-letter word, ‘Sorry’, is too clichéd to be considered by the way. That is to say, we all need to get awakened from our very core. Things cannot go on in the same way. We all have to pay for our misdeeds. Until and unless we rectify ourselves, who will do it, well, why should someone else do it on our behalf? Let us all question ourselves; let us all find out our inner selves; let us all rectify ourselves to find out the answers. It is we who have worsened the entire scenario, and it is we wh...

Cosmic Lessons

Image
The poem "Cosmic Lessons" in a nutshell The cosmic creation is an automation of order, the cosmic order. If we look at Nature carefully, we can come to learn so many lessons, for sure. Each and everything is happening in an order, in the cosmic order, that gives us a lesson, the cosmic lesson. As and when we cling to or we do pursue our positive passions, we feel a joy that is of creative kind. Without pausing, without ceasing, we should nurture, we should garner our passion to fructify it into reality. People will always be there to taunt and instigate us, but we need to stay persistent to feel the jolly joy and to succeed in life. The poem—“Cosmic Lessons” The snow-capped mountains, The murmuring fountains, The golden dazzle, The hard hazel, The fluttering birds, The returning herds – All tell me one thing, “You do have to cling To your positive passion, Though others create instigation, For the world’s in a flow, Ju...

Mingled

Image
The story behind the poem "Mingled" It was a sultry day. The sky was feeling gloomy in full swing. The earth was feeling morose. The crackling leaves were so dry. The birds were feeling weary to sing as if a disaster was in the offing. The rain was feeling dreary to come down on to the earth. Likewise, my own feelings reverberated in the entire Nature as if Nature could feel the "vibration of my soul". I was no more a separate entity. I was completely mingled with Nature. It was a splendid feeling indeed. The poem -- "Mingled" The sky feels gloomy, And so do I; The earth feels sullen, And so do I; The leaves feel dry, And so do I; The birds feel sick, And so do I; The rain feels husbandry, And so do I in cheer; Awaiting the divine heraldry, I'm mingled with Nature sheer.

Our Mother Nature

Image
The poem "Our Mother Nature" in a nutshell Nature is our mother, for sure. If we look after her, she will take care of us all. Her fullness, stillness, and calmness echo in our soul. She is indeed lenient to us, for we are her children. However, at times, she becomes malignant. She then as if rebukes and punishes our disobedience. Hence, we are supposed to abide by her laws. Only then she will abide with us always. The poem-- "Our Mother Nature" Nature is full; Nature is calm; Nature is still; She echoes our soul. If we love her indeed, She does reflect our mood; She is the manifestation Of the Supreme Soul. She is our lenient mother; At times, she is malignant; We should abide by her laws; O, abide with us, Mother.

Landscape

Image
The poem "Landscape" in a nutshell In this poem, we come to realise the fact that as and when we get tired of viewing the natural landscape, we come to decide that we are no more human beings. That is to say, we have turned animals indeed. It refers to the fact that whenever we find the natural landscape tiring, we should get sure that our time of the ultimate end is drawing close. Therefore, instead of creasing our mentality and humanity, we should usher them in always for a better tomorrow in the society. The poem-- "Landscape" All day do the landscape I view; Yet they are always evernew. I must know, I must know-- Whenever it does tire, Destiny will play dire, For the moment we cease Loving her, we crease Our mentality, Full of brutality. We must know, We must know That our time's drawing close; Time will not be as it goes. The keywords Poem, landscape, all day, view, always, evernew, k...

Yes, we can fuse everything up in the world of imagination. In that world of fantasy, we have complete command over everything. Broadly speaking, we all have the power of imagination. Let...

Metamorphosis

Image
The poem in a nutshell We metamorphose. Yes, we do. Be it in case of this life, or be it on case of Afterlife, we are subject to change or metamorphosis. Again, we can get metamorphosed in nature and character as well. Such metamorphosis turns us either good or evil. However, we must always try to get changed to the optimistic side of human lives. The poem - "Metamorphosis" The shower of sapless leaves, Dancing in the midst of them, My deep despair do they cleave; I’m never more the same. Lo! This blade of grass Edifies so many things; Yonder the golden mass Lessons my heart that sings. We change every day; We are born again and again; We never decease any day; Everything’s in a chain. That I’ll never die Produces in me bounty and joy; When one’s soul’s uplifted high, One sheds off being coy. The keywords to the entire poem Poem, metamorphosis, shower of sapless leav...
