Life Poem by Bharati Nayak

Life

Rating: 5.0


Wow- -
This life- -
These half dreams,
The half built statue,
An unfinished poem,
A picture half drawn,
Myriad desires unfulfilled,
Yet, thirst is thriving
Searching water
From earth to heaven.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Fascinating consideration, Bharati. Is not life itself unfinished until it is no longer life? Is our incompleteness not merely further evidence of our continued being? Wonderful imagery frames a powerful contemplation. Thank you for sharing this wonderful work.

What is best, I like in this poem is the thirst that is from earth to heaven (being positive) . and poetically every line is wonderful.

(continued) ... both the S. of Liberty and the C. of Rhodes stand/stood about 33 metres (108 feet) high, according to Google/Wikipedia! ! one was stone, i assume, and was destroyed by an 'earthquake' less than a century after completion, and the other is clothed with copper sheeting i believe, which has 'weathered' to green. [i have one of me, that size, in our backyard. good enough! ] to MyPoemList. bri :)

Dear bharati-nayak, The lines, Searching water From earth to heaven. gives a spiritual value to the poem. the poem travels not only birth to death (life span) and also markes its footstep in heaven.
