Life Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair

Life

Rating: 5.0


You are the mortal goddess, Oh! Present,
Of the stupendous ocean of immortal time.
Though devoid of power for granting boon
Worshipped dedicatedly and devotedly

Past pilgrimage thy shrine seeking nirvana
Stoop and prostate before thy threshold
Quite unaware of thy barren capabilities
To shelter and cater cherished aspirations

The galloping waves devastate and scatter
The castle you build on the mortal bubbles
A desperate and helpless present regretfully
Guide it to the unknown realms of future afar

Alas! Life thus travels a long way incessantly
Crossing the barriers of births and deaths
From past to present and present to future
Like the waves that carry bubbles mortal

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Life is just waves of the endless ocean of time. The present is the most important of the three stages i.e. The past, the present and the future. We consider it so keenly like worshipping a goddess. We are limitlessly ambitious but all of them cannot be materialised and so we surrender them to the future.
