MANJULA ASTHANA MAHANTI

 



 

Inevitability

 

       If night is preordained

       Day is inevitable  too

       If darkness  is assured

       Brightness  too

       Nature has  made reverse

       Of everything,  good -bad

       Right- wrong, true - false and so on,

       Life swings  between them

       Inescapable

       Nature  has it's own  ways

       Goes according to it's

       Fantasy, rules,  moods

       But  man  is  man

       Has  tremendous power of  brain

       Proves, finds. ways  of  having

       A good life  between odds and ends

       To  sustain

       Inexorability  is  taken  care  of.........

 

  Fire

 

   A spark  is  indispensable

   For  those, have ambitions

   Inner  fire pushes to budge

   Furnishes with life to the dream

   She knows how to rise, grow

   Dance  hurtling, serial dance

   The  spark  becomes enormous, very soon

   Taps into the boundaries of creativity

   It must be tempered

   Lest it  leaps it's  bounds

   Because it's creative yet destroyer too

   Dreams come true till the fire ablaze

   One  follows  her directions

   To  fullfill  one's dreams

   But it should be controlled with purpose

   Fire must be  used  for procreation

   Proper  corrective actions are desired

   Each one has the fire within

   Use your inner fire fruitfully

   To inspire the World

   Pass on the spark....

  1. Inevibility and fire by you are philosophical poems
    First poem concludes that nature has its own laws . It has two sides
    Of one coin . For example good and bad, write and wrong , day and night and birth and death etc. second Fire. Every living object has fire in the inner.
    It is the fire that pushes life to go ahead. But man should use it positively so
    He ought to be a humane in the real sense.
