LIFE ETERNAL
-
Manas
Bakshi (India)
Half a line scribbled,
Rest revolves around mind.
Intuitive mind can't always divulge words
As spring up with an implicit spur,
Nor can follow a straight line
As a life without struggle does.....
Words coming up on their own take wing,
Reach unknown height
In quest of sunshine in real life
Spreading on the wings
Of a cygnet in a pond
To sparkle on the gem of love--
And that's all
Faith in humanism deserves.....
Between corporeal and spiritual
Swings mind,
Between real and unreal
Drowns one's being--
In the whirlpool of loneliness
Whispers time
To a stranger
Dwelling inside a versatile mind:
Life's as transitory as incomprehensible
Not the resonant symphony of eternity
In the journey of life.
