Waking Poem by Kalidasa

Waking

Rating: 3.4


Even the man who is happy
glimpses something
or a hair of sound touches him

and his heart overflows with a longing
he does not recognize

then it must be that he is remembering
in a place out of reach
shapes he has loved

in a life before this
the print of them still there in him waiting

Many of us do not remember that this land sheltered a great poet like Kalidas once. in this short poem, the poet brings out the longing of our soul for something which we know is there all around us but remains unseen. Hope more and more Indian parents visit your site to improve the expression bilities of their children.

This poem yearns to be read slowly, thoughtfully, savoring each word, testing its bridges, enjoying its beauty. I can see why it was recommended that I read Kalidasa the poet.

When I was 6 I dreamt [or maybe recalled] about my birth. As I was born I said to myself, 'Here I go again'. At the same time a voice told me I would be fine. I am 50 now but that dream still resonates deep.

This ten line-poem of excellence is representative of the great poetry of Mahakavi Kaalidasa. By honouring him, this site has honoured itself and genuine poetry. I feel honoured to have born in India, where this greatest-ever poet lived.
