if you ask me
the age of a poet,
i would answer,
the poet has no age,
as he belongs to all times.
then what would you say
to the age ofblue sky?
or whose eyes are the blue dreams
of the sea.
in whose heart the fragrance
of flowers reign?
in whose mind the
lotus flowers?
in whose thoughts,
the rainbow dreams.
difficult to answer
these questions.
yet,
when the poet becomes old
decrepitude sets in,
that is the worst day of the poet,
his creations remain stand still.
his dreams are shattered
the death rites
are done that day,
but, his poetry lives on
for ages,
so the poet lives on
in his creation,
he has a edge over age!
I AM IN FULL AGREEMENT.BESIDES, WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN IS UNIVERSAL TRUTH! THIS POEM SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO - 'SATHYANARAYANA MVS', WHO IN HIS POEM - 'OVER SIXTY' ADVICES ALL SENIORS TO GIVE UP WRITING AND DO ONLY SOCIAL SERVICE! HE ALSO PRESUMES THAT EVEN AFTER 60YRS PEOPLE DONOT GAIN MATURITY, WHICH IS RATHER PRESUMPTIOUS! THANKS FOR SHARING! -RAJ
There are all kind of poets and not all write evergreen poetry or topics that are always valid, as a matter of fact very few of the poets have the capacity to give poetry that shines in all weathers and times, a very good tribute to such great poets. A great write, like usual!
Yes, only poet can win over time and can live young in mind forever and forever eternally!
