Society

Different,

It was never

The same blue sky!

And from that distant crowd

The weary wind

Spread the mist of mirth

Everywhere!

 

But,

Far beyond, beneath

That tree, stood she

Gazing at those stars

And those voyaging clouds

That wiped the tears

Of the weeping moon

 

She thought-

Society will cheer,

As they always did

They seldom cared

Who they missed!

They won’t

And will never try

To befriend your loneliness

Albeit!

They won’t forget

To mourn at your death!

 

Despite of,

That clapping and tapping noise

That perishable giggles and cries

That glaring glimmer of fireworks

She stood silent

Beneath that tree…

 

A lake ahead

Unruffled and still

She threw that tiny

Pebble

And it rippled

“Ah!” She sighed

She personified

That lake as a society

And a pebble…!

[…the firecracker blew up]

Her thoughts,

Hence shattered…

 

The wind hushed-

But her face glowed

With that radiance

Of flashing firecrackers…

With no smile on her face,

She goes off!

One pebble or one person can do a great deal. But the great urge in our hearts combines many desires and wishes. Learning to understand what specific intent it brings to us is an important first achievement.

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

True. Thanks Dayran :)

[Leslie Philibert]

A poem with many fine lines, like the weary wind, or the wind hushed, so a work with quality !

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Awaited review, Leslie :) thank you.

[de_maruf]

fine

i am at a disadvantage... what is the meaning of "crackers". Here in the USA it is a small bland cookie. I can see that is not what it means here, and it seems understanding the meaning as you use it is important to understanding this poem.

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Nicholas, thanks for pointing out. I thought I mentioned. But I dint. Its a firecracker. Big blunder. Thank you so much :)

[Tex]
