This are Light Verse for Kids which I am writing for them to enjoy and Parents to encourage them to Write Creatively
As some blossomed hopes may wrinkle
And plants of life will be sorrowful
So listen to songs of birds around
To cherish in fertile ground.
Your buds of aspirations to blossom
From serene songs in ambiance
Shedding light into your life
Guiding you with each step.
In its journey some wishes leaps
Some desire in your life sleeps
But river flows day and night
So be awake in your thoughts.
Then your aspiration reaches the destination
With thoughts of river flowing to ocean
Your hopes filled with light
With vast happiness beaming in heart.
Growing in calm waves of thoughts
Possessing pure and simple tastes
To blossom one fine day
Filled with life which in everyone’s heart stays.
So the beauty of race stays through generations
Blooming after growing with patience
The humble and calm beauty of each child
Is what people need by their side.
The azure horizon is vast
In it fill your ambition thoughts
To heal and favorably feel
And being ahead in your tale.
So wings of aspirations gliding
With happiness you will be singing
Being tougher than the rest
By trying what is best.
In the cycle of life we retain
The path in our life we maintain
So when leaves of life fall
We are born again in fertile soil.
Live the life in the lane
Washing away all the stain
So each day is to rejoice
From your innocent choice.
The vapors that glows in heart
From your thoughts spreads through out
The aspirations spreading through room
Your wishes converted to steam.
So holding on to your thoughts in heart
Where ever you go relate
To change to favorable line of fate
To reach your life’s happiness gate.
Sun and planets move according to your will
With stars lighting your beauty by twinkling
With bells and conches in temples people play
For you to reside in the sanctum and fulfill their wishes
When they worship for you in this places.
Your various forms shedding away people's sins
When they stray in different directions
So please in this festival fill in my vision
Being the source of my rescource
Which praying at your feet inspires.
All true art is the expression of the soul. Poetry is no exception. In the recently published book 'Golden Horizon" Dr.Biplab Majumdar in one of his haikus says,
Indian poetry
Springs from Nature
And ends in deep spirituality
Which is true. Indian ancient culture is richest in the history of the world.. The great sage Shri Adi Shankarcharya once came across the old poor women, who offered a small fruit with great devotion. The sage was so moved that at that instant he formed and uttered a sloka in the form of poetry that gold coins showered from the sky on the old women.
Else where in the planet too the old flock lore played a great role in foretelling the calamities of the Nature.For example in October 2004 issue of National Geographic magazine in the article about Volcanoes in U.S.A. Hawaii National park in pacific ocean, the sequence of volcanoes is clear in flock lore of Hawaii pacific legend what is described in chant and song is the metaphor of what really happened. Scientist now regret it was all in the stories if they had the foresight to look there first.
Now let us look at our own tsunami of 2004. In hindu cosmology the universe is created anew out of cosmic ocean over and over again. Each time it begins in golden age the Krita yuga and ends in the time of social disorder and individual wrongdoing Kali yuga.
The flood now becomes the doomsday flood or pralaya which means at the end of the four ages of eon.
In oldest extant of Indian variant from about 900 B.C. the Shatabdha Brhamana, the first human being Manu, the Indian Adam, a tiny fish asks Manu to save him from big fish who which otherwise eat him. Fish eat fish is Sanskrit equivalent of dog eat dog which means anarchy. Fish in return promises Manu to save him from great flood that is to come.
Manu saves the fish but not only himself alone but all creatures with the help of the fish which is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
More significantly the myth is the part of cycle of time involving fire as well as flood, which Robert Frost called "Fire and Ice".
As young poet practically speaking now literature is finding a place in management courses. Literature especially poetry helps to develop concentration in over whelming information and fragmented ideas.
So poetry is for the future and not only of the past.
Let poets be true celebrities of the planet along with adventurers, explorers and scientists.
It glows like lamp bright filled with sight
Casting the shadows away from thoughts
Making way for the breeze of serenity
To fulfill dreams with sanity.
So as darkness is filled with light
Heart sorrows will be light
And from seconds of ambiguity
You can move away with clarity.
The language the picture speaks
To soar high our mind awakes
Like smoke in chimney joins the sky
If we strive we can reach where our hope lies.
Glowing bright from the heart
The portrait drives deep thoughts
So it is one for the family
In every home to lead life cheerfully.
