Why It Happens To Me Alone? * Poem by C. P. Sharma
Why It Happens To Me Alone? *
Why the flowers fade in a day?
Why the sun sets the same day?
Why the youth fades away so soon?
In all these is Nature's boon.
Why the lotus blooms for a while?
Why beauties after a while beguile?
Everything has its own profile,
Nature gives everything a trial.
Winter is always followed by spring,
Music mixes up low notes and zing;
There is always a monotony in One,
Change and diversity create all fun.
When the sun sets in the East,
It rises in the West,
So that we can have the rest,
And they have the zest.
It was composed in reponse to Abha's poem: 'Oh God, why me?
It is a beautiful poem.This is a cycle of nature where every season is followed by other.It is not peculiar to any individual.But it is a human nature that he mourns for what has happened to him only by saying that why did it happen only with me.We can't ignore this tendency of human being that was expressed so beautifully by Abha Madam and it has been answered equally in the sweetest poetic lines.Amazing poem.
Thank you sir for meditating on my poem [ Oh God! Why Me? ] and answering in a beautiful poetic manner…. Yes very true Nature has its own course to follow where we have no say, it works to save us from monotony….new flowers bloom everyday only to replace the previous ones…knowingly also we tend to question why me? If the monotony continues the poets say… “I had never thought Death had undone so many….” Eliot quoted Dante in his “The Wasteland” [so with death and without it we are unhappy] The diction, flow and the stanza form are just beautiful….
wonderful one...picturing that all things are not constant... reality in Life...that everything will change only 'Change' will never change.... 10++++
A very lovely piece of writing, with a positive ending, well done 10 Lynda xx
A beautiful lyric piece. From the finite to the infinite, via the poet's pen.. For what we see through the windows of the soul, is ours to keep forever. Applause for this. Always your friend at poemhunter, Sandra.
Every ending has a new beginning, thats life. Wonderful poem. Bob
