You Poem by Ruma Chaudhuri

You

Rating: 4.8


Looking at the beautiful sunrise
Or
The flying blue birds in the reddish sky
At sunset
I asked you….
'Oh the Great Creator! Who are you? '
You just laughed at me.

Again at flood or earth quake or …
In your cruel curse
Lots of people were crying
When you were devastating your beautiful creation,
Standing on that debris
I asked you again who are you?
Again you laughed at me.

Still I felt you
In the small plant in the debris
Or in the painful living

You are present
Within us ….
In the new morning , that starts with the last pain of the yesterday's sunset,
you are present.

A very powerful poem which invvokes the question of why such tragedy exists in a world where we supposedly are governed by a loving God. Can almost feel the anger and hopelessness in this great write.

It's a beautiful poem. God is there in the destruction as well as in creation. He is there in pain, as also in pleasure and happiness. A poet can see God in all His manifestations.

What a beauty! I was amazed. Kabir Das says....Kastoori kundali base mirig dhondhey ban mahi.....Aise ghat ghat Ram hain dunya dekhe nahi.
