A Radiant Light Poem by Ravi Panamanna
A Radiant Light
IN THE LIVING MEMORIES OF VANI. DAUGHTER OF MY COLLEGUE'S BROTHER, SHE WAS ONLY 16. SHE WAS A BLOOMING DANCER AND SINGER AND HAD ALL THE QUALITIES OF A NATURAL HEART- KINDNESS, LOVE AND GENTLENESS.
*********************************************************************************
The bud hath closed her eyes,
Thou hath returned to thy earthy bed.
The bird hath left the dales
Thou hath left a lingering song behind.
The sweetness of thy presence
Is a ceaseless spring long after the season.
The fragrance of jasmine
Is deep in our chest long after the winds.
It was a glow, silent,
Melting the thickness of night.
It was a flow, steady,
Reaching unto the streams of life.
And, adding to our treasured memories,
Thou wert all the way, a radiant light.
It was the universal spirit
Flowing in and through all thy themes.
And breathing the Zephyrus,
Thou wert serving to eyes and every heart.
Life was beautiful but posthaste
And plucked thee before the appointed hour.
A stirring Poem, hard to keep my composure - I am totally enthralled by your use of words – they linger on in the mind and draw me back to read once again - a wonderful tribute to youth and beauty
the death of someone so young is always very sad....i can see she was a beautiful girl... and a beautiful soul... very touching.
very deep expressive and illuminative writing! like Bach Cantata on poetry!
You made the point in your poem that flowers don't last forever.
This is a wonderful metaphorical poem... ''Thou wert all the way, a radiant light''....... lovely to read............. 10+++++++++++
Thou wert serving to eyes and every heart. Rachel Ann Butler
As Karin says this piece is poignant, touching ans shows a deep sense of empathy...good write Ravi
This has been written with so much empathy and your first stanza is so poignant and equally touching. In a more told worldly language you have brought in glorious imagery to crystalize the Radiant Light of her spirit. 10 love Karin
