As I Watch... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

As I Watch...



Right across my window glass
From where I sat inside my car
Parked aside a village road
Two lads I find beg for alms

In front of that vending shop
Stretching out their tiny palms…

The elder could be aged ten
Less four is the younger one
Might be asking something for
To satiate hunger

As I watch, the good-hearted
The vendor gives two cake pieces…

As I watch, the kid's elder
Gives them both to his brother
As I watch, I find sun rays
Focus on four little eyes

As I watch, I find this sight
Hatch divine love me inside…

Dear Easwaran, The poem touched my heart. I dont have words to express the feelings. You are not only a poet, but..........what should I say I do not know. You are a great --. You see HIM in all your sights.10++++++++++++++++++++++

Its time we all stepped out of our cars(Mental bondage!) And come out on the free roads to live a simple life and find true happiness, of giving and sharing! Thanks for reminding!

Absolutely inviting. A sure display of what this world can still behold and what it can still become. Charming.
