A River Of The Will Poem by Neela Nath Das
A River Of The Will
A river of the will,
Plays in my mind.
I call her to come out,
But she stays behind.
She flows and says-
O, let me do the thing,
Which I desire;
I'm now a spring.
Just telling this,
She jumps from myself,
Riding on a cloud,
She flies like an elf.
With a pensive mood,
I sit by the window,
It starts raining outside,
My room gathers shadow.
I think, where's my will?
She isn't in the sky-
A whisper comes in my ear,
I can't believe my eye....
The drops of rain fall there,
Wetting my hot face,
Tell me-'Dear we are here,
Giving you cool brace.'
Then go back to the river,
To be again the cloud,
To flash with the thunder,
To roar aloud!
Great expression. Congratulations and thanks for sharing a nice poem.
I have unfortunately a different perspective on will. It perhaps is the most misunderstood euphemism by mankind. Euphemism for clear understanding and the acceptance by ones self of that knowledge which was understood. When the self sees with crystal clarity the hoops and sketches of the intellect and yet stands firm distinct content and in command what results is will. I knew this after I managed to quit smoking, will power, will, be it good will or evil, is nothing but a popular myth, what children are fed from school days by those who don't have an iota of understanding about what it is. I loved your poem from its structural sense, making sense and reason flow with natures bounty in harmony and confluence with your true self. Congratulations.
Never underestimate the power of the will! ! Thanks for the reminder!
What a beautiful poem! This poem flows like a murmuring river... beautifully written....Top score
Outstanding poem, I quote my fav lines: I sit by the window, It starts raining outside, My room gathers shadow. I think, where's my will? She isn't in the sky-
Then go back to the river, To be again the cloud, To flash with the thunder, To roar aloud! A beautiful rendition of reincarnation, if you believe.
