Two Friends Poem by Sathya Narayana

Two Friends

Rating: 5.0


We are two friends of oppugnant thoughts
I’m of thorough religious mind and faith
And he; an authoritative dialectician
Yet of one inseparable yoke we are
Of tolerance like two sides of one coin;
With uberrima fides in each other’s
Virtues, wisdom and benevolence

When collide with each other, our staunch notions
Emit out new fragrances of nascent philosophies
A bit clear and a lot: unintelligible glimmer
Leading us yet, slowly towards unknown horizons
Of unfamiliar truths and astounding revelations
But we know one day sure we can dispel
All the ridiculous litter remnant in us and
Clutch firmly the silken threads of Absolute; fistfuls
And expound to the whole world
Our all new ‘ultimate gospel’

(Dedicated to Rajan)

Lovely poem Sathya, the one that should be written as an example of how the tolerence of our differences, can make for good friendships. If only the rest of our world understood this. Bob

I enjoyed this one and its doppelganger theme, Sathya! It's amazing how much more can be accomplished with respect, even when reaching out to someone with divergent views. Introspective work here! Thanks for sharing! Warm regards, John.
