The Permanent Truth Poem by sayan sil

The Permanent Truth



It was with that falling autumn leaf…
Gently landing dead body…..of
The once green with vibrance….
That I realized permanence was one mirage…
Every one was aware of, yet, planning to elude it…

Then I see the flower, hiding behind all the lush green….
Behind all….that is so temporary…..so crumpled with death
I see the beauty, who lived and inspired all others to do so…
The queen….who has inspired thousand others to die after..
& thus to live..
the sun sets
the horizon smiled with its vermillion clad middlepart
it was going to be dark…
that I realized that however beautiful, however dew delicate it might be…
however adorned and loved it might be
perish it will too
however best I try to save it, n think that I may succeed
sink it will too
n live just like that little paper boat
you playfully set out…
on that day when it rained
Rained till it couldnot be seen,
In that evanescent horizon of living and dying…

Gorgeous work, your imagery is serene and the message is simple, that all things die and living is a part of that process. Origami is a beautiful art too, the image of 'that little paper boat' sticks fast to my heart. My late hubby used to make these little boats with our children and sail them out to sea...Thanks for sharing your lovely art, smiling at you, Tai

Thank you for the comment. I have never felt so gratifying, so humbled as now. When I discovered your comment on the poem 10 years later. I wish you all the best for your life, and that the universe grants you everything you want. :) Sayan.
