POTENTIALITIES OF ‘I’

Dr. R. S. Tiwary

 

Life is a saga of ‘I’s,

Carried on through millennia,

Amid ups and downs.

 

‘I’ has inspired sanguinary wars,

Causing rivers of blood,

Terrestral  globe to flood.

‘I’ has constructed Homes of  God;

Also glorious Abodes of Cupid;

Magnificent Tajs and Tombs,

To transmit the message perennial,

Of the Flame of Love Eternal.

‘I’ has constructed mysterious pyramids

To immortalize the force of “Ean Vital”

‘I’ has installed the Edicts, Inscriptions

To illustrate man’s ambitions,

 

To defy and challenge,

Time’s potential to devour.

‘I’ has given rise to Empires,

Cutting across bounds of continents.

There has been thus a clash

Between“Aham” and “Kala”;

(“Aham” is Ego; “Kala” is the destroying force)

Though the latter has triumphs

Yet the latter remains Un-subdued

 

It’s ‘I’

In the realms of creativity

That has unfurled its banners

Over the ages colourful, glorious

The ‘I’ is a “sine qua non”

For human existence through the hazes of Eternity.
