Air Poem by Indira Renganathan

Air

Rating: 5.0


O' tricky children of the sphere
Mass of gasses and vapour dittoing to flare
Trickling through my nostrils to swear
That my life ever is you compounded air

O' smart invisible blare
Invisible, yet sun, moon, all twinkling to glare
Elated my eyes to swear
That my life ever is you compounded air

O' invisible solitaire
Of zephyr and thunder a melody you bear
Merry my ears swear
That my life ever is you compounded air

O' invisible painter
Of azure and 'bow an aesthetic you bear
Blown my mind enthralled to swear
That my life ever is you compounded air

Visible, audible, sensible for us everywhere
Of yourself are you aware
That scary too, now a smoky, toxic ware

Each stanza is like a fresh air caressing our face. The air which our ancestors preserved is becoming now scary - the last lines ring the alarm to make us set things aright.

I quote: “O' smart invisible blare/Invisible, yet sun, moon, all twinkling to glare/Elated my eyes to swear/That my life ever is you compounded air”. You must have put your heart and soul in penning this elegant piece of poetry! Pray God bless you always dear madam…….10

An extraordinary poem. Without air we can't survive but air pollution is leading to so many disease. When will we stop polluting nature...
