Poem Title:
Poem
Till that day I was living in a different world When I use to see things, as per my notions and whims But one day a teacher taught me a lesson Perhaps, the teacher would not have imagined What a great thing he was diffusing To all those who were listening His lecture on “Seeing Things from the other one’s Angle” When I practiced that teaching and adopted The new way of seeing things in my life I found a great change in my way of living The results were astonishing and beyond doubt sprouting And pleasure and happiness began to grow slowly in life What a beautiful Art of Living and Loving That teacher told me with a concluding To practice his methods, to test its success At least for few days, in the beginning The most important thing he asked me do Was to practice visualizing myself in the other man’s shoes The day I started thinking from that angle Imagining the place, where the other one was standing I felt many of my problems started diminishing And gradually I began to have better understanding What a small thing to practice and what a gain, which Gave a U turn to the way of my living and thinking In harmony with Nature, while believing in God And in our believes, faiths and Loving I thanked the teacher for all his teachings And the practical demo* he gave to prove his teaching On the Art of Living and Loving Although he was trying to explain “Seeing Things from the other one’s Angle” only, but I found it to be An ‘Art of Living and Loving’ Ravindra NOTE: Experimental Poetry • the Demonstration part ( which is game play ) can be concluded in the next part of this Poem, if the poem is found worth while. Kanpur, India. 02nd Dec. 2009
