Poem Title:
Poem
Prelude This story is based partly on the Indian mythology and partly on my imagination. The theme is anger, how it can destroy even the entire Earth and if controlled, how it converts into a creative energy. The incident is from the mythology of Hindus, which speaks, how Shiva the supreme God of Hindus started one day his Tandava Nritya * or the Dance of Destruction……………..What was the cause of this anger would be explained in the concluding part of this story. When the Universe was in danger 1 of 4 The cascading spring of poetry or anger, start flowing, When pain got absorbed, in one’s mind and heart, And the agonies of heart, show their somber face, When they dance on the lips, while words take shapes.01 The utterance becomes a melody or a loud voice of thunder, Depending upon the depths, of pain and piercing thorns, When tears start rolling from eyes, without stopping for a while, Like the streams which keep flowing, without ever stopping. When the waves of pains, strike high touching the air and, The separation from love splashes against the sky, It takes shape as a pain of heart, and goes-up like high waves or, It burst like heated lava, coming from a Volcano’s chest. 03 Suppressed pain strikes the rocks, when they comes on its way, The sea of turmoil creates a fearful noise, while hitting the rocks, The anger then burst, like the sea surf covering the mighty rocks, To engulf everything coming, before the raging mind and heart. 04 Considering the end to save the lives, the earth started shouting loudly, As if the Tandava Nritya*, had started to engulf the earth, O Please Stop, You are the God of creation & destruction too, Have mercy, O Shiva*, O Please stop, your Tandava Nitrya,* Or else the whole earth would forever come to a halt. 05 Ravindra Kanpur India 14h Feb 2011 to continue in 2/8 Clarifications: Shiva* is the supreme God of Hindus, who is also the source of all creations and distractions. Shiva’s Tandava is a vigorous dance that is the source of the cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution. Tandava depicts his violent nature as the destroyer of the universe. *Tandava Nritya* means Dance of destruction
