Taste Of Eternity --- A poem by Ramesh Iyengar
I stood close on the shores.
The eternity right in front of me,
blue, vast, endless …………….
ripple one after the other
in frequent succession …………..
Is there a melody
in the ripple you make?
Your dance of waves,
a perfect rhythm.
Buoyant, brine liquid,
host to many a vessel,
Haven to pisces and
a million species.
Tell me, will you make
a mermaid meet me ?
Oh! Deep and meaningful concept !
Admirable in form !
Profoundly spread.
Teach us your lessons.
your ways ………….
symbol of wisdom ……..
even as an orthodox guru ……..
ever in my life.
Oh! Eternity !
