A Drop On A Lotus Leaf Poem by Amitava Sur
A Drop On A Lotus Leaf
A water bead on lotus leaf -
Shimmering with a glow
But up to that time only
As long is on the leaf.
With a little jerk or a shake
It rolls down and ends.
This life is like that only
As a drop on a lotus leaf
Priceless is our human life
But very mortal and short lived.
With a little quiver or a tweak
It shatters and then breaks.
Very short lived and uncertain
Like the dew on the grass tips.
To extract the beauty of life
So long you are alive -
Love all with love and peace -
Love flower bird and child.
Spread out the treasure of love
To the saints, demons and the beasts.
Enjoy the life without harming others
Live and let live with peace,
Who knows when the heart will stop
Even when you're at your height of success!
Life is like water drops
Wobbling on lotus leaf.
Short lived and uncertain
Like the dew on the grass tips.

Well, this one I have written about our priceless life which is very mortal but very unique. Please read and give your valuable comments with rating
your well penned poem is a bright portrayal of the uncertainty, fragility and also brevity of life, along with a universal message: don't waste your life, but live all your days fully and in peace with yourself and the others.. We should remember such a message each and every moment..
Quivers with the precious fragility and all of the wondrous uncertainty that is life. Amazing.
