A Needed Art Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

A Needed Art

Rating: 5.0


what is this ART
why spend money on it
why spend time on it
what does it give you
what is it's use
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

it relieves you so
it reveals you so

if it is only a money getter
if it is only a time spender
if it is only a stress reliever
it has'nt taken its chair

TO BECOME MORE THAN WHAT YOU ARE
TO KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY ARE
TO EXPRESS YOUR LOVE TO THE CREATOR
YOU NEED THIS ART
YOU BECOME THIS ART

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Kesav Easwaran 26 February 2009

A good theme you take up here, SLN...'art' has its own place and value in this technology oriented world...artful imaginations spur up enthusiasm ending up in discoveries and inventions... The drawings of Michael Angelo and Leonardo da Vinci of the Renaissance Period later contributed to many a mechanical engineering assemblies...in 'Ramayan' written in post Vedic Period there was this hint about a conveyance through sky...that has been well before Wright brothers could invent a model centuries later... I don't remember who invented E-mail but the first man to imagine in this line, was Kali Dhasa the great poet of Ancient India...in his classic write Megha Sandhesa- Ethereal Message- his hero would send his love messages to his consort in separation through clouds only... Art and Science are inseparable parts of Philosophy...no wonder you receive M Phil when you master any subject, art or technology...thanks for your good thought provoking piece...your poem inspired me to talk too long too much...10

agreeing with Carl in totality....and yes I have found that it is really more practical and useful for me to get on my typewriter or keyboard and save the gas going to my therapist

Life is art in itself, the lord painted the world that slowly fades with greedy ways, we need to add back the colour with love
