Be A Lamp! ! ! Poem by C. P. Sharma
Be A Lamp! ! !
Either be a lamp
Sitting at a place,
Emitting light beams
For swarming moths' solace.
Or be a moth,
Dance around the flame,
Forget your being,
Claim oneness with the flame.
Either be a forest,
Vast vividness embrace;
Lion and lamb live in it,
In diversity do their food trace.
Or be a seed,
Vast forest in embryo;
Get lost into the soil to see,
How does eternity mop & mow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Amazing philosophical poem and a great articulation based on our day to day observations. Thanks.
This poem reminded me of a song I learnt during school days: Some like it hot, some like it cold, and some like it in the pot,9 days old. Though a lot depends on our circumstances and our destinies, I agree a lot depends on our personal choices too. Nice poem!
My tongue might be too poor for your poems! But my heart has a lot of space to fill, I take the liberty to let some of your poems go straight to it, thank you for writing so beautifully! ..I would like to be a moth....
