What If Poem by Bharati Nayak

What If

Rating: 5.0


What if
I go back in time
Where I left some unrealized dreams
Can I catch with dreams?
Had my life path taken a route different
From now
Perhaps, then I might
Not be writing these lines
I might have become
A different person
A better or worse
Who knows- - - -

A nice poetic imagination, Bharati. A very impressive and attractive surrealism indeed. A great poetic sense. You may like to read my ars poetica named as (Poetic Sense-1) Thanks

I am sure every moment of your life makes you a better person, I an sure every new step leads you to a new destination, the street of thoughts that lead to a highway of humanity, is merged to proceed in your perfection. Go on proceeding with courage and confidence, the highway may be dark and there may be no light, do not look backwards march forwards, you don't need light if you are yourself bright.

Let not the ifs unsettle your mind Just seek excellence where'er you find And all challenges, take in your stride Then happiness will be by your side Thank you Bharati

You have dealt with a profound conundrum here in this very short poem. I take it that we all exist as one but we know that not due to our default limitations. It is these limitations that make us wonder on the lines if it were like this, if it were like that etc. The best thing therefore is to accept what one is as a given and endeavour to perform at one's best.

A poet and a singer both turns time into one point realising dreams and sorrows of others and self!
