Is this I? - II

by C P Sharma   Apr 24, 2008


(Part - II)
Born of the parents
With noble life style;
Devotion to divinity,
Living life with zest
Giving life the best
Was their life's fest!

Born in sand-dunes,
Its sand never clings,
It cleans, is pure as gold,
Impurities doesn't hold,
Weaves waves of eternity
In your mind and mould.

Played in heat wave's
Burning fume,
In all sternness
My boyhood bloom,
In an oasis my study resume,
A new life role I was to assume.

Literature, my first love,
Won't last even when I die,
Later came Economics,
Bread and butter of life,
It helped me waging war,
Against sweat and strife.

Then came a pretty gal,
To take care of my life
Softly she took me
To the land of rivers five
Since then into love
I had deep, deeper and the deepest dive.

There bloomed lotus
In the pond of our life,
Three sweet daughters,
A son sober and sonorous;
I had in life values all pious,
I set on life without any bias.

Thus started smooth sailing
On the ocean of life,
Reached many dream lands,
Many cross roads divide,
But always a Light House
Right direction to provide.

I am now struggling
To reach the shore,
I have all hopes,
Still I am not sure,
Whether I shall sink
Or arrive the shore!

Waiting for the chariot
To take to new land,
Where face to face
My Pilot does stand,
He will be my counsel,
My actions will defend.

I shall once again
With my pilot unite.
This will be the end
Of my long, long flight.
ONE with Bliss I will be,
The otherness won't bite.

    Mr.Sharma,it was great going through your life span.Marvellous imagery.You have proved a poet can say so much in such brevity.
    I am touched with the lines:
    I shall once again
    With my pilot unite.
    The final goal of bliss.

    Good job on this piece taking us through your life's journey.

    There bloomed lotus
    In the pond of our life,
    Three sweet daughters,
    A son sober and sonorous;
    I had in life values all pious,
    I set on life without any bias.

    I loved this stanza showing the birth of your children. The Lotus and pond of life. Great imagery.

    Thus started smooth sailing
    On the ocean of life,
    Reached many dream lands,
    Many cross roads divide,
    But always a Light House
    Right direction to provide.

    If we open our eyes we will cose the right directions in life. We may stumble but will find the way.

    Good job!
    Take Care Cindy
