Not Now Poem by Bhartendu Second

Not Now

Rating: 2.8


I am willing to travel
and discover where
Colombus left his journey

But not now
as the ghosts of all
great travellers
are pale and angry
for what we have made of their
innocent cravings
and romantic dreams

a time may come
when they will say

the ship is ready
and the sea is inviting

Dear Rajbir when we enter the sea we are indeed in the time of all those great travelers, and there is something of timelessness in the sentiments of this poem. I want to see and smell and taste what you percieve they sense - those images, as tangible as possible of who & what they were - and what they left for us, in us. Give us those sensory, infinite memories...images Anne

These lines are very powerful: But not now as the ghosts of all great travellers are pale and angry for what we have made of their innocent cravings and romantic dreams
