For The Little Flower Poem by Bharati Nayak

For The Little Flower

Rating: 4.9


Some words ring
Make room for themselves
In you heart
Why?
He said
Go to your garden
Choose the most nondescript flower
Take it in your hands
I will put all my energy there.

I went to the garden
Found a little crimson flower
Crowning on the head of a grass blade
I held it on my palm
Softly, lest
Its petals may break
The flower smiled
For some seconds
I was not I
Flower was not there
Perhaps
It had melted in my hand.

The melting of flower is a philosophical term...nicely used to describe the feeling of JOY and Happiness.....Loved it....The beauty is to see and feel and not to destroy....100++++

You have captured a moment of bliss, fullness, in this short but profound writing. These are moments when one loses oneself in the universal whole. Great! (10)

The first two lines of this piece stand out, almost incongruently from the remainder of the poem forming a very powerful emphasis for what follows, yet creating such a visual that my desire is to linger there first, and savor the imagery just a bit longer. And then the remainder of the poem is such a quietly radiant visualization of life, truth, love, that lingers in the mind long after the final words. Brilliant work, Bharati.
