Under the rush of stars
Often intangible thoughts
start with an issue,
A tear falls..., with it
An ache twists somewhere.
O my heart!
start with an issue,
A tear falls..., with it
An ache twists somewhere.
O my heart!
The whispers of memories
Rise
like rings from a smoker’s lips
The fleeting rings enter the mind,
In effortless unison, fill the vision.
The fleeting rings enter the mind,
In effortless unison, fill the vision.
-an
empty chair
-the
little side table
-the
bare window draped with Mom’s raw-silk saree…
The images within me unite, clash and clang
Weave skeins of many beautiful legends;
The images within me unite, clash and clang
Weave skeins of many beautiful legends;
These
are pearls of my treasure.
A
realisation:
Life is too rich to waste.Once learned,
the journey is easier every time.

How beautful this poem is Panchali. I particularly liked "A tear falls..., with it, An ache twists somewhere" and "These are pearls of my treasure".
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so beautiful, a kaleidoscope of memories and images, the "pearls of my treasure". Wonderful to read, my friend.
ReplyDeleteO, yes! Thank you for letting me experience the memory rings with you and see the chair. Beyond sadness comes that certain knowledge to be here in this now--and let our lives visit us here. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe smoke rings are an effective image and really carry this poem through
