Poet and Poetry-Composition

Composing poetry is
Playing violin; composing ballad;
Compering dance; tuning a lyric;

Composing poetry is
Singing a song; fulfilling a longing;
Realizing the truth; serializing the moods;

Writing a book is
Producing a son; bringing up a daughter;
Spending time with the beloved.

Composing poetry is
Going on an expedition to scale Himalayas;
Flowing with the Ganges in to the sublimity;
Planting a fruit-yielding tree;

Writing a book is
Living with a Realized Self;
Moving in a boat around the globe;
Exploring the vast universe in a space-ship.

Composing poetry is
Reading and revealing human emotions and moods;
Sculpting a rock into lovely Lord;
Painting on a large canvas;
Probing and enjoying the nature;

Composing a century in a cricket-match;
Setting up a goal to be scored in a football game.

Composing poetry is
Conducting a scientific experiment
Formulating an equation to a natural phenomenon
Roaming in the wild forest;
In the company of flora and fauna.

Composing poetry is
Meditating voyage for Nirvana;
Editing the footage of the grand show;

Writing a book is Violent inner struggle;
Benevolent work;
Contented content-creation;
Silent prayer.

Composing poetry is
Eating a sumptuous tasty meal;
Sharing bed with beautiful youthful beloved;

Writing a book
Makes one sage, and go through life as a saint,
Enliven life in all its shades and lights,
Ups and downs, happiness and unhappiness
Like a seer experiencing peace and bliss,
Together with pleasure and pain
In a serene way.

Composing poetry is
In fine, is Living forever;
Conquering the death.
