The Beauty And The Beast Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

The Beauty And The Beast



There existed on the No Mount
The Big Beast; in trance it remained
Unsought unheeded unmoved
Knew not one whence none remained!

Then appeared on the Nil Valley
The Beauty; craving it remained
Unheard unseeded un-ploughed
Knew not one whence none remained!

What got transferred the two betwixt?
What caused what to play gimmicks?
Pressure to Volume; what the next?
Temperature did all the tricks!

Expanded? Yes; exploded it
Came out Ether; carried the heat
What spilled out of the big boil?
Dew drops warm? Yes; of the High Kettle!

Did those drops drench the valley down?
Weathered the Beauty? Yes; for once
What seed not made what unfertile!
Creation entered; and all others…
