Potentialities of “I”
Dr. R.S.
Tiwary
Life
is a saga of “I”
Carried
on through millenia,
Amid
countless ups and downs.
“I” has inspired sanguinary wars,
Causing rivers of blood,
Terrestrial globe to flood.
“I” has erected glorious Homes of
God;
Has constructed Tajs and Tombs.
To transmit the message perennial
Of the deathless Flame of Love
Eternal.
“I” has raised mysterious Pyramids,
To demonstrate the force of ‘Elan
Vital’.
“I” has installed Edicts,
Inscriptions,
Betokening Man’s ambitions,
To defy and challenge
Devouring Time’s potentials,
“I” has given rise to Empires,
Cutting across bounds of continents.
There has been a clash
Between “Aham” and “kala”;
Though the latter has triumph’d,
Yet the former remains un- subdued.
It
is “I”
In
the realms of creativity,
That
unfurl’d its banners
Over
the ages colourful, glorious,
Drive
the “I” into wilderness,
The
Home of Human Existence
Will
become shorn of grandeur, lustreless.
Though
charg’d with pounds of Energy Destructive,
The
“I” has climb’d brilliant summits constructive.
The “I” is a ‘sine qua non’
For Man’s progress through hazes of
Eternity.
