Knees Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Knees



An inside craze!
An inside craze
To remain at the top always!
I brace up my knees...

But my Ortho tells me
Not to bother much
About making highs;
After all, He says,
I would need my knees
To kneel before Him
For all my further
Inner Diagnosis!

i can empathize with you on this.....my knees are starting to complain..... yes, knees are meant for praying....hopefully we can still bend them!

how tie flies, before we know our body begins to give subtle messages, which we ignore an inside craze an inside craze to remain at top always! its the inner flexibilty and resilience that ultimately stands the test of time. great metaphorical write Mamta

Kesav you make a strong point here with a very strong metaphoric write.....our chase to reach the top and stay there is shortlived....we need to bow before our Maker

Thanks Sridevi. I am happy at least one of the readers so far, could get to the correct message inside my metaphoric write. The 'craze' is the relentless race we undertake in life to achieve highs- bracing up- at the expense of our soul- knees. 'My Ortho' there means God. Whatever highs we achieve, at the end of the 'race', we are forced to renounce all and to kneel before HIM for the final judgment- Inner Diagnosis Thanks Again

The craze to be at the top always....but ultimately we have to bend forward before HIM.
