A Droplet In Sea Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

A Droplet In Sea

Rating: 5.0


My ego rising tall from a plane lay,
I often feel, the world warms to my song,
To play a second fiddle, lost in fray,
And I conduct orchestra all day long.
But evening twilight setting in, I brood,
Contemplate and begin at last to see,
Me melting in shadowy solitude—
Oh, I'm no more than a droplet in sea.

The world's now bathed in radiance all new,
Beauty and bliss welling up from within,
And a window emerging with a view,
That lets me see a world never ere seen.
Man a mere point is in infinity,
And world looks at him as nonentity.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Man likes to see himself at the centre of the world. That is his ego. Yet, his identity is that of a lost dot in an ocean of dots. He is but a point in infinity as this poem says— a droplet in sea.

Yes Mahtab Bangalee, you have picked the right lines. On knowing that one realises Man a mere point is in infinity, And world looks at him as nonentity. Thank you.

You nailed it with this poem, ego is the greatest enemy of man. The world's now bathed in radiance all new, Beauty and bliss welling up from within, And a window emerging with a view, That lets me see a world never ere seen. Man a mere point is in infinity, And world looks at him as nonentity.
