Unbound Trove Of Infinite Treasures Poem by PRAVEEN KUMAR English Poems

Time is too short to live in this long world,
Like two eyes to count stars in the sky;
Time is too transient to hold fast to this world,
Like lightening in night sky to splash light all night;
To eyes, too dim and two hands, too few
To grab vast treasures scattered in this world;
The heart, too weak and two legs, too inadequate
To pace all corners where spread this world
With precious secrets and variegated riches.

Like a sailor in high sea, seeking water to drink,
Man thirsts for things already lie round him;
Like, seeking his peace outside everywhere,
Man seeks his things otherwhere than he should;
For, he is too feeble to confront and bend
The world that stretches beyond his horizons;
He is too light to sit flat on the gaint world
And to call shots at will on the splendours around
That blinds his small eyes and dazzles his soul.

The world is subtle womb where sprouts wonders
That nobody thought possible ever;
Every dark space is a dense spot of new treasures
Of lives, lights, stars and deaths,
Of hopes, riches, solace and new paths;
No infra-red eye to reach dark spots,
No laser device to pierce the treasures;
Man stumbles on things, he seeks blindfold,
In unbound trove of infinite treasure.
