Identity...What?

-



People see this...
The outer hard crust of me
Never realize that
There lies a molten core beneath the surface
True I am the Earth

People raise doubts...
The unlimited territories of me
Never recognize that
There is a horizon that gives me the finite
Yes I am the Sky

People ask questions
The uncontrollable behavior of me
Never relate that
Unless pressure released, I can't sustain regime
Exactly I am the Ocean

People seek answers
The unmindful dealings of me
Never understand that
I shift directions to keep steady world
Right I am the Wind

People put queries
The engulfing fierce nature of me
Never appreciate that
With me the stars shine, the life evolves
Perfect I am the Fire

People simply forget
God made nature first,
Earth is first to originate,
People entered later to that

People forget evolution history
People ask simply "who am I"?

Let me answer this one time
Let me tell the truth...

I am nothing in the world
I am every thing in the universe
I am every bit of the universe



(For Poets United Midweek Motif ~ Identity)

We are indeed specks in the universe - hopefully shiny ones though with our little place and worth

The last stanza of your poem was excellent. The idea of each person being nothing in the world, but every bit of the universe filled me with awe! This is one of my favorites of yours, PT. So well thought out and expressed.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
