Rudraksha - Xxi To Xxv Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair
Rudraksha - Xxi To Xxv
XXI
I can hear the bells chiming far in perfect harmony
With the merry songs of the retreating birds
And merging with the booming blow of conch shells
All in thy peacing love and calming bliss
XXII
When volcanoes sentenced by you to imprisonment
Under the deep sea become restless and furious
Hurl molten lava in protest making perilous tsunamic tide
Calm them down and save us from the disastrous waves
XXIII
You have taught me my master to adore beauty, but
Beauty that springs from dirt will wilt and fall into the dirt
Lotus so beautiful and sacred blooms in muddy lakes
Unless picked and offered will wither and fall into the mud
XXIV
I was in search of a flower, full of beauty and grandeur,
That has never been offered to thee unto this hour
At last when I found it I feel not picking it hurting
It's pain is of more concern to me than to earn your blessings
XXV
Lotus blooms with the ambition to be caressed by the sun
Waterlilies for a love filled look of the distant moon
When their hearts are filled they wilt and wither and fall
Forget my discontents my lord, fill my heart before I fall
Poet experiments in different styles of writing poetry.These are short, but remarkable verses.Actually they are pearls in oysters (ie pearls of love, fulfilment, motivation etc.) Congrats!
Thank you very much dear friend. When I read the comments of some of my friends I really doubt whether my poems and myself deserve that much. Such comments are really my energy
THE POET CLAIMS THAT ACHIEVING SOMETHING ABOVE OTHERS DOES GIVE US GLORY...BUT FINDING PEACE BY SACRIFICING OUR SMALL GAINS FOR OTHERS SMILE KEEPS US CLOSER TO GOD....
Thank you Prathibha. Yo accept what God gives and to find happiness over it is great
There is a longing in everyone and everything for love and self fulfillment! When the lotus and the water lilly had it, they wilted and withered! You also long to have that self fulfillment before you wilt and wither! I love the last stanza! A 10
Thank you Valsa George. Your appreciation of my poems always give me much energy to go ahead along the poetic avenues
Lotus blooms with the ambition and a short flower motivates mind. An excellent poem is well penned.
Thank you dear brother Kumaramaniji. I am happy that your encouraging comments appeared so quick as usual

The Almighty's varied creations are all beautiful however small they are and man is not expected to to disrupt or destroy them lest it may incur His wrath and displeasure which may manifest in the form of natural disasters! ! Poet is aware of this truth and vows to abstain from such things as he thinks that the sufferings of His creations are of more concern to him than the prayers in his lips! What a noble thought! Kudos to DPN!
Its a sin to hurt any living being even if its on God's purpose
