The Breakfast Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

The Breakfast



My mind told me:
No. You must change.
‘Change how? '
Have a decision.
‘You mean? '
Head straight;
Chest up;
Not a second thought;
Let me see
Firm footsteps;
Hands forward,
Legs forward;
See, what oozes out
Pace yourself,
Towards the East,
Towards the Light;
Left, right, left…

Inspiring! ! It reminds me of those moments sometimes, that catch us unawares, when a communion of the self takes place.. :)

Kesav, my favourite meal time, my favourite time of day, to drink in warmth and new material for the start of each new day. 10/10 Bob

Thaks Kesav. true, in very few words the theme is clear. Samanyan has given a good distinction between facts and truths.

east has plenty of truth to give...while science was inventing facts..religion was realising truths..facts could be easily handed over and be used...truths shold be realised to be used..our ancestors were simple after realising the truth..they never felt inferior...we seem to left out with the 'PRIDE' of our truths..itried to bring this in my poem 'the lab, experiment and me'
