Why Ash? ? ? Poem by SALINI NAIR

Why Ash? ? ?

Rating: 5.0


Ash that spread around
The flak that residue
The nullity that never sparks out
Endurance that still in its attire
The ash that keeps it formless
All age that had some form
Outage that pass to the sequel
But the burn that turn it to ashes
In that sigh it won't breathe
Even its residue keeps mum
It merges in to the land
There its pedigree was not written
There rest assorted forms of life
There in that metaphor
Its part was not discrete
Long passage that cease its part
Fragment that pat to be gems
Rest that fume in the nature
Apart that flourish and fertile
But all the way its ashes that speak
There rest the blaze for some time
Though the life spread some worst
Its ashes that balances and prevail it to nature
There flourish the next hope
A life of a seed, to be a part of nature

Ash reminds us there was fire and fire reminds us of ruins and ruins of what? .......Salini.........vestiges of past life, past love, past heritage and so on.............metaphor of penance, regret, remorse, or the like....Anyway a good symbolic write
