ENCOUNTER WITH LIFE’S REALITY

 

K.V. ADVANI

 

Encounter with life’s reality,

Has twin-factored force,

Where devotion to duty and beauty,

Recreates life’s corrective course.

 

Life’s ambiguities and enigmas,

Can be resolved smoothly,

If the mind is allowed to play,

In a free space, creatively.

 

Romance blooms and blossoms,

Beyond life’s hurdles,

That need sturdiness of purpose,

And sanity with vibrant urges.

 

Rhapsody of soul cannot vanish,

If spiritual salve does not go dry;

Life’s meldoy and agony,

Can vitalise life without sordid tie.

 

There lies lingering vacuum,

Between grey-hued curves of dismay,

And heroic rhythm of life,

Where chivalry has its full sway.

 

Let us learn to tap the roots,

Of aesthetic joy, power and sanity;

Verve of peace and serenity,

Flowers with impersonal virility·
