A Plant Succulent Poem by Savita Tyagi
A Plant Succulent
Life without art and literature is
Like a sheet of cake without icing.
So dull and colorless.
My thoughts like sugar sprinklers
Decorate my cake.
Blessed we are to be given a packet
So uniquely filled to enrich our lives.
Oh! But my packet is getting empty!
Content all used!
Much of it lost or wasted in my folly.
In my hour of desperation
Someone touches me softly.
Points me to some new yawning.
Look around! Look hard!
Remove the wrapping!
Dig deeper!
Not all your shelves are empty!
There is still so much you haven't used.
Be innovative! Be creative!
Well, maybe it is right in front of my eyes,
But, I just can't find it!
A Voice assures me again.
Have you ever seen a succulent plant?
Deep within you is a Being just like that plant.
Rising upon a dry hard surface
It draws its sustenance from distant sources.
Like from a pipeline invisible,
Riches of life siphon from it,
Drop by drop for you to collect.
Trust yourself!
When you feel obtuse
Like a plant succulent
It is there to enrich your life.
Always, till your last mortal breath.
Trust yourself! When you feel obtuse Like a plant succulent It is there to enrich your life. Always, till your last mortal breath.......touching expression with lofty theme. The beginning sentence is much important and likable. A brilliant poem is astutely delineated.10.
Innovative, creative and beautiful words. Simply amazing full of great wisdom These are my favourite plants Growing from just a cutting and spreading them through the garden. The flowers are always a surprise. Thank you Savita Your words and your comments are a joy to read.
Beautiful analogy, there is a perennial river flowing within, which might deplete, but never dries up completely. And then, only a vessel which is emptied at least a little, can be filled up again.
Trust yourself! When you feel obtuse Like a plant succulent It is there to enrich your life. Sometimes in life we all feel a dryness and think that life has gone vapid..... but dig deeper. You'll come upon new streams of life. What we need is the ability to probe deeper and the perseverance to make use of what we have found! Great thoughts!
Trust yourself! When you feel obtuse Like a plant succulent It is there to enrich your life. Always, till your last mortal breath.r not to just praise the comparison is just excellent ma'am You are into literature
