* A Seed Within Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

* A Seed Within

Rating: 5.0


what are you going to do?
he might ask
are you going to wait

are you going to wait
for the seed to take root
bloom and bear fruit

leave it to me
he might say
i will give you the fruit in a capsule
you give me your seed...why toil
he would ploy

A FRUIT IN A CAPSULE IS'NT A FRUIT AT ALL

The path too is a joy
the growth too is a joy
from the seed to the fruit

a spiritual share is a joy too
the giver and the taker share the joy
if it was a share
which gave you joy
how can you use it
as a ploy

First of all... Its great batting at century. Congratulation. Seed to fruit, a natural way Patience and passion are the crux One who waits will enjoy the yield. Good Theme. Smoothly Strewn. Enjoyed the read.Thank you.

Commericialisation of Nature's gifts Herbs, fruits, leaves, roots and all Given free to us, how can we sell What is not truly our's but belongs To future humanity - The simple joys Of climbing trees plucking fruits With their juice running down our elbow To chase a squirrel and sing with parrots All now lost and our children drink From bottles and tetrapacks While we gulp down ancient wisdom In haste and hurry, no time to spare, As pills and lageums* with no one To make them with a dash of love Or concern as our grandmas did in ages old. But, to allude to all the above and then Talk of the Spiritual too with such ease In self same breathe I assure No one else other than you can ever do! [*medicine made in Jam like consistency] Angel

i like the phrase ' life is a journey' it is not the destination that is of great interest its the journey in marriages the moment till the ' Muhurat' is interesting rather than the tying the knot moment which puts a full stop to meeriments great Lakshmanji
