Lying On My Back… Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Lying On My Back…



Lying on my back on the late night lawn
I look northwards behold a star shine alone
A sun has come over to please me; frank!
Talking to it in heart i express my thanks…

The star laughs an’ tells me: You foolish man!
Pick out a northerly sun, never one can!
Stop kidding get up an’ go to bed straight
I’ll come down to your dreams if time permits…

Listen to the lonely stars, they have learnt wisdom by meditations in secluded spheres. Very beautiful poem! 10 even if you don't care!

Very descriptive Kesav as you lie on your back and look at the sky. I also enjoyed the humor and hope you had wonderful dreams that night. 10 love Karin

lying on your back and watching the night sky, you travel in a world of magic, transcend the humdrum of daily existence and gain insight through inner reflections and self realization. nothing teaches like nature, as you have expressed in this poem with a touch of humour. human follies and foilbles... 10 Mamta

very well written.. your poem can tell in very few words what can't be conveyed in hundreds of words by others and that's poetical triumph.
