Poetic Tidbits (Pieced & Clubbed Together) / Metaphysics Of Life And The World Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Time
Time
Time Cosmic,
Time Mechanical.

History
History of man,
Earth
And life.

Asthi-kalasha
The asthi-kalasha
Hanging
By the tree.

The Navel
The navel of my dead mother
Burned as a diya
For some time more.

Pinda-dana
Pinda-dana, a handful of dana
For the bereaved soul,
For its shantih.

The Over Mind, Over Soul
They just say about
That I is a part of You
Which but know I not.

The Pathway
Where the pathway
Leading to
Ultimately?

The Journey
The journey of life
Never smooth,
Ever winding, ever zigzagged.

Destination
Where my destination,
Neither know I
Nor has anyone said it?

Value
What does it stay here,
Say you,
What does it?

The Retreat
Things are created out,
Return back to
And it remains not.

Our Base
The body of the soil,
The soul of the spirits,
Which from where?

Dusty Ways
Dusty the paths
From have we come to,
From where to return back.

The Five Elements
Earth to earth, wind to wind,
Water to water, fire to fire,
Sky to sky.
