Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Rictameter

Notes About The Poem

Marvels

Petty
particle of
Dust enters a cauldron
Of light and a great star is born.
Petty seeded gravel enters
A shell and outcome is
we are endowed
with pearl.

Mother
butterfly lays eggs
out pops caterpillar
Makes a shell, it cracks, parts divide
The caterpillar is now gone.
As when the shell opens
a butterfly
comes out.


A few 
drops of semen
a child conceived and born
eternity of life goes on.
All the beginnings are petty
The endings marvelous
HIS all special
Marvels.
