Known-Unknown Poem by Bharati Nayak
Known-Unknown
At first I thought
You are unknown
Then I felt I know you
As when you talked
Your words were like that of mine
Your tears like my own
Pain, pleasure, laughter, sorrow
Courage and fear
Are so much like my pain or pleasure
I find an empathy
Yes, I felt
I knew you longer
Than myself.
There is universality in human emotions! When we see somebody thinking and behaving as we do, we are moved to surprise and we feel that they are our duplicate! Naturally we feel a special affinity towards them! A sweet write, Bharati!
Thank you so much for your appreciation.Yes human feelings are so similar.When we analyse we can see part of us in those feelings.
Sometimes while we gradually 'discover' another person, we gradually start to 'feel' that person and she or he becomes an essential part of us... Empathy is the most crucial and rarely found virtue in human beings nowadays.. But sometimes it's good NOT to be an empath when the one we conncect with is a charlatan, which, happens a lot with empaths... A very, if I may say, carefully and beautifully crafted poem Bharti.. Thank you for sharing...
Life becomes perfect when two hearts get synchronized. Well expressed.5 stars
what a joy when we have the experience- and the moment or moments that provide it- to meet a person heart-to-heart, someone who is guided by love and good will. thank you, bharati, for this thought, for your heart. -glen
a bit too cryptic or symbolic or unreal for me to know who or what this is referring to. but it sounded good. bri :)
To know someone; in your heart with the muse of life. Nice work.
That is what love speaks. The concluding lines are befitting. wonderful composition.
