Somanathan Iyer Poems

Touched upon is every subject
touched upon is every theme
left out are nothing except paled ones
leaving apart the modern trends
...

Existence reconciles
with unfamiliar change
inevitable change
propels existence
...

A village I had been to
far from the town
rich and remote
with abundant nature
...

neither it can receive
nor it could give
a closed fist any thing
...

God created us to own only our life
not to own everything under sky
air exists to make all to live
land created for all to dwell
...

Mighty may be the size of mountain
comes under your feet once you climb it
appear fearsome challenges lying ahead
keep on vanishing if faced with courage!
...

A twinkling star in the far off skies staring at me
A group of black and scary clouds moving fast over the top
A loud thunder with blinding lightning deafened my ears
A howling sound of a lonely dog troubling my spirits
...

Once lush with green and water filled lakes and rivers
With abundant crop yields prospered the entire land
In a span of five years witnessed drought never seen before
Not a single drop rained lakes and rivers drained
...

Omnipresent is the God we say
Can't find him physically among us
Feel him at times when dangers averted
Feel him always in our breath of life
...
