the sun!
Days walk by night arrives
people speak their eyes cry
women run children thrive
yet no one seems to to be in time elapsed
time that did not exist
when life had gone to rescue its origin
when stars polished themselves for this shine
moon dived in ocean to wash off dust
which fell on it from a recent eclipse
horizon was doomed with tail of a new comet
they say it came after thousands of years
all was frozen when sun came out
sun was the saviour
sun became the cause
sun was the reason for all of us to be!

‘…people speak,their eyes cry,women run, children thrive…’ a very apt description about our worldly chores …Dear Pritts…
…only if we could give a pause and try and be a bit contemplative…about all that has been and all that ‘is’ pressures and pain of being would have been much more easy to reconcile with…
…yes Pritts you have been very right in pointing out that although the sun moves through days and night…’yet no one seems to be concerned about the time elapsed’ that being the fraction of that split second from where our story started with a big bang…the point in time before which as you said ‘time …did not exist’. Great to see science converge with art on the study table of the discerning reader.Only if we understood that we are not even a speck in the larger picture of our galaxy which in turn is also not even a speck amidst that cesspool of billions of galaxy …
…and this insignificant context…a very brilliant piece from you which force us to think whether our mundane botheration do really deserve the kind of involvement we find ourselves enmeshed into…
…but yes sun is a saviour of sorts from all dark matter and from the elapsed time that paradoxically never was…
…thanx Pritts for this amazing linearity of thought that you have sketched for us…hav a bright sunny day 🙂
thanks prateek for understanding and then describing so beautifully my point of view.. I came to this juncture when my whole life felt insulted by one action of a person and suddenly I realized how small i was in this large scheme of things.. in a moment all pain was gone and I was in awe with this wonderful creation of God!!!
Nice lines, Prit……….
sun was the saviour, sun became the cause
sun was the reason for all of us to be!!!
