POND er

 

                           


I don’t flow like a river …

I don’t gush like stream …

I am not as vast as an ocean … 

I am not as tall as a waterfall …

I don’t nourish the fields …

I stay between the limits …


I flourish by the rain …

I perish by the sun …

I ripple a little due to wind ... 


Mythology elevates me …

But Man pollutes me …


I am stuck and stagnant 

And not free flowing or vibrant … 





Flock of ducks graze my surface …  

Swarm of Fish swam through me …

When one of it jumped 

A swift eagle preyed on it …

Amidst this violence 

Crane doing a single leg penance …


All things life …

Yet I feel lifeless …


What am I ?  

Why am I ?


While sulking in the dusk of despair 


Sound came from the sky 


“ It takes a long time

 for ice to melt 

to merge with the ocean …


For them action is life … 


O ! Pond , 

Don’t Ponder any more ….


You reach me with a single rain … 


you are not the life … 

you are the reflection of life … 

you are the one when all action ends … 


Anantham …


Who sees you , will know themself ….

Who meditates in you , will know me 


Don’t whine

You are Divine 


After a period of silence 

The Pond felt 


aham shayanam asmi


Anantha Shayanam.
