Light And Shadow Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair

Light And Shadow

Rating: 5.0


Walk high above on the clouds
Watch the shadow on the ground

Souls of animates and inanimates
Come out as shadows from captivity inside

Prostrates themselves down on the earth
Revere the luminaries blessed them out

Dark stout shadows lack beauty
Grim cold sorrows lack gaiety

Enjoy roaming in the vast blue sky
stepping from one cloud to the other

Stoop and put the hands down
Catch a shadow for a companion

Climb up the ladder of lightning
Where the blue ceiling opens to a sea

The opening closes by itself and be there
A shadow won't feel suffocated under the sea

Rise up to the top of the sea
It may take births to reach the surface

The glory of a new sun will welcome
From a new solar system, so comfortable

'Rise up to the top of the sea It may take births to reach the surface'................. The rise may be slow, but the effort is what matters. Without continuous effort, nothing can be gained. A beautifully composed meaningful poem.

Thank you Smt. Valsa George. The merger of Jeevatma with the Paramatma is not so easy. It needs a lot of efforts throughout several births together
