Understanding Even In Not Understanding Poem by Varsha M

Understanding Even In Not Understanding

Rating: 5.0


It takes nothing to say
Right now I'm very busy
Only to escape the encounter
Often desired by the other
But felt silly by the receiver.

We all are puppet to this ego state
None of us desire to be less a little
Everyone wants only the power
And rule nations in one's own galore
Ignoring freedom of the very other.

We only want what our mind desire
Fails to recognise other's frame of reference
Only because me is the core ruler
Pulling others all as inferior
Me becoming the call mightier.

Just a humble assent mends
But me never ever consents
We become two sides of river
Only because of flaming fire
Burning all that was once better.

The question why I did that enlighten?
But I miss the chance to make happen
All because my pride showes it's hurt first
The other consoles even the rejection blast
This is the real theory ofunderstanding best.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Inspired by one of my best poet Robert Frost The minor bird, today's modern poem.
As I read this poem how the poet expresses his agitation towards a singing bird outside and curbs her right to sing freely only because he was preoccupied with his business and the birds sweet voice was a noise for him.
Sometimes what we didn't understand was very well understood and mitigated by the bird and she flew off.
Even in our relationship where we were adamant the other was considerate so in either case understand has to be there. Without it we are nothing.

Poem sublimest, I have enjoyed very much the in-between lines in this thought-provoking poem.5 Stars Full Vote, dear Varsha! You have thought through and through. Amazingly rendered! Thank you for sharing this poem full of brilliance. I cite here Robert Frost: The fault must partly have been in me.The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song. Absolutely.

In love and life understanding plays a key role, love without understanding may be a fresh ripen fruit but with understanding it's a flower initially sprung in moonlight but burnt in the sunlight of hot days as a dry fruit.
