Merger Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

Merge with me I heard the soil say
No merge with me, the air called out aloud
The waters, the fire and the sky they too joined in
Wanting me to merge
I looked askance at the wall facing me
I almost heard a warning murmured
Ignore them I thought I heard having said in the lowest of notes
I could not assume any of these forms
I could not be the soil for seeds to germinate
If air, I would not have a fixed abode
In water, I would drown
The fire would burn me entire
Merged with the sky, I would lose my identity
Only the wall I always doubted, blocked the avenues to these five
If so it is with me I should merge
That would be convenient and all-embracing
