SONG OF LIFE
Life is poison born out of the sea of milk
It’s Hara’s throat hiding Halahalam
Warm tears of Rishi Kanva giving send off to his daughter
Flooding waters thundering day and night.
Life is a smile on the face of Christ on the cross
It’s lotus crest-fallen on the morning
A test paper given to man by the Almighty
A village inn where light burns day and night.
Life’s an offering on the platter in hands of a sister devotee
An old poem on a school- boy’s slate
Taking hand of future revengeful
A half- eclipse of the moon .
Life’s an ache of a mother swinging baby-less cradle
A pitiful look of Ahalya accursed and deformed
Agony of Kunti throwing baby into water
A sad and tender tale of a blade of grass on the shore.
Life is a fortune of a bride entering her mother-in-law’s house
A mysterious desire of a dumb man’s travails to utter
Ugadi chutney sour, sweet and bitter
A puzzle unsolved for umpteen ages.
Every one’s life is a strange tale out of tune
A difficult path of ups and downs
It’s Sita ready to enter fire
A scar of a knife on the head of past and future.
Brother! Victory is yours! Don’t lose confidence
Trust in God above, proceed without fear
Your hope of fire will blaze- your practice persists
Your tapas will bear fruit –truth will truly win.
