The Art And Skill Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

The Art And Skill

Rating: 5.0


From seed to the fruit
From birth to death
I have learned all the arts and skills-
Practiced them, mastered them in life - excepting-
The art and skill of 'not dying'.

The art and skill of 'not dying' is still-
A seed in me.
I have been engrossed in the-
Success and failures of my other skills.
I have even started considering death as-
The ultimate success- so
The art and skill of 'not dying' has not really-
Taken root in me.
It is just a seed in me.
