Rising From Ash Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

Rising From Ash

Rating: 5.0


The past is burnt, life is feathery,
Burning the trunks, grass and leaves,
Powdery residue is left under shadow,
No hope is dead as we are rising.

We are rising to grow in fearless mood,
We are now leafless plants but strong,
Mercy of rain of spring will fall on us,
First summer's fire has burnt a little.

We are arising passing through a change,
Birth and death are truth we accept,
Trunks are burnt in fire means we are not dead,
While soul leaves a body this is burnt to ash.

Soul is self luminous light and eternal,
This carries hopes to find new life soon,
Seeing clinkers in trunk we do not bother,
We are little plants just born as cute babies.

Beside there is green garden waiting for us,
We shall fly in sky having new green leaves,
Leaving a little feather a bird has flown,
Some are crying near ash, some are smiling.

Thought provoking with the want to read again. We do not know what lies ahead and you have expressed these words somewhat chilling and haunting. Love it.

Great observations about life and death. We are leafless but not lifeless. New leaves will spring out soon.

A very powerful and thought provoking write full of positive energy! Loved every line! This 'burn' is only temporary. From the ashes rises the phoenix.....! So the trees now standing bare will once more be clad in green leaves as man rises from death to live eternally! I rate this poem as one of your very Best, Kumaramani sir! Top marks!

The earth rises from the ashes of a devastating fire like a phoenix as does our soul from the scars and ashes of our devastations. Excellent write. A diamond, in fact. I cannot give it a 10 because the voting boxes are closed to me. but I let you know here that it is worth thousands and thousands of 10's. But I think I can still put this on my fav list- I better be able to...GRRRR
