My Motion Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

My Motion

Rating: 5.0


This train is moving
I am on this train
I am moving
I am on this moving train
This train and I are moving

This train moves along with my motion
I move along with this moving train
Train's motion is apparently independent
My motion visibly restricted

This train moves outside my motion
My movement inside its motion
It moves on its tracks
I move on my tracks
Both tracks are differentially parallel
But integrally universal
And interrelated

I get out of this moving train
My motion culminates

This train is moving
I am waiting for the next train…

Ah! On the nonstop train of life, always moving with or without us, with different stations to explore and experience. A very well written and meaningful poem!

Lovely allegory on life in this universe. In Sanskrit world/universe is called jagat. It simply means what moves. There is nothing motionless in this world, motions within motions, amidst a chaos of emotions. Well done dear poet.

Life is one of motion. Sometimes we move at an accelerated pace, sometimes in a slow motion. Sometimes we stand still, but we cannot stand still for long. Life demands us to keep on moving. A train without movement is of no use. So is human life! Very philosophical!

A brilliant poem. Very perceptive. Yes, our motion is restricted when we are on a train but it enhances in one way or another our movement. We can go to places we like to see faster by the aid of a train. Wonderfully and cleverly written.10++
