Panchabhoota (Five Elements) [premji] Poem by Angelina Pandian

Panchabhoota (Five Elements) [premji]

Rating: 5.0


Dream starts...

Troubled sea....night
Twister arises with intense power...
We are struggling in the mid-seas...
In a ship without anchor...
Soon deep buried in a whirlpool.....

Dream continues....

Naked like careless children,
We walk through hoarfrost....
Trapped in an avalanche...
We dissolve...

Dream continues....

We look into the fuming mouth of
A huge volcano...
Like moths, we vanish....
We burn.....we diffuse....

Dream continues....

We travel like two ants...
Flying up on a huge kite,
Without any control.....
We sit in the vortex of a twister.....
The earth is vanished from vision....

Tell me,
Who are you?
Fire? Air? or Water?

The sand underneath your footstep....

Dream finishes.......

[Should've known by now it's Premji's & not mine]

Prem, 'the sand underneath your footstep....' Beautiful & superb lines, Yes We are like the liquid sand Dissolving forever under our feet But, we in blind conciet Think we are the earth, fire and sky The Boothas Five, Elements of power Forgetting we belong to this earth And Dust we are, to dust return! Leena
