I Want Not - 03: The Strength Poem by Subhas Chandra Chakra

I Want Not - 03: The Strength

Rating: 5.0


I want not

that strength of a storm

that never settles a home,

that never houses a bird,

that never pats a back

of the weak or feeble,

that seldom explores a land

mysterious, strange or unknown,

that rarely builds up a dune

over the valleys of life

under the vast stretching

desert sky.



Rather I would be

The mild autumn breeze

That fills, chills and thrills

life in many,

soothes the heart of lovers

heals the aching minds

And flies the dry leaves

off the ant-hills

by the forest path.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Human achievements are human resources and must be shared amongst the inhabitants of the land. People who become great forget that their height, fame, status, strength, caliber, everything that they achieve are something to be adored by people, the neighbours, not the peaks or oceans or the sky above.
We must love to share what we have. A mild autumn breeze is better than a strong storm.

we'd better be a dim light from a worn out lantern to remove darkness from the path to forest Rather than an assurance of eternal source of infinite luminosity that is not realized.Great poem sir
