Aniruddha Pathak Poet Sonnet

A Droplet In Sea

My ego rising tall from lowly lay, 
I often feel: world warms up to my song 
And plays a second fiddle in my play, 
I lead a vain orchestra all day long. 
But evening twilight setting in, I brood, 
Contemplate and begin at last to see 
Me in misty shadowy solitude— 
Oh, I'm no more than a droplet in sea. 

The world's now bathed in radiance all new, 
Beauty and bliss welling up from within, 
And a window emerges with a view 
That lets me see a world not before seen. 
  Man as a mere point in infinity, 
  He’s looked as a faceless nonentity. ______________________________________________

Anisha Dutta June 10, 2021 at 11:46 PM Contemplate on existence of Human Race in COSMOS. A single persona holds a ridiculous trivial position. Aniruddha Pathak June 15, 2021 at 9:24 PM Thanks Manishaji, yes, it is ignorance-induced ego. As they say, the more you know, the more you realize how ignorant you are. You're right.

Rama Balasubramanian June 10, 2021 at 10:40 PM Man a mere point is in infinity, And world looks at him as nonentity. .... A profound truth beautifully stated. And our ego's ride high as if we are God. Still the mind. You will see the truth. Aniruddha Pathak June 15, 2021 at 9:17 PM 'Still the mind, you will see the truth', ah almost a mahavakya, how profound! Yes, as Bhagavad-Gita said, the mind can be one's greatest friend and also a venomous foe. Thanks for visiting, and your feedback.
