Existence___Is Existence Poem by RAJNI CHHABRA

Existence___Is Existence

Rating: 4.7


Water of rivers
Flows
Like these thoughts
Water of sacred Ganges
Turns salty
After mingling with sea
These innocent thoughts also
Fall prey to lust

Existence is existence
Re sends salty water
To snowy summits
Of Himalayas
That is abode of
Frozen soft water

In vicinity of
Snowy mountains
Thoughts freeze
Don't fall prey
But are immuned
From flaws

Nearing snowy peaks
Ordinary human being
Also becomes
Like Himalayas
Cool, stable, silent
Bold, gigantic and sober
