Poetry is truly a rediscovering one self. <br />One of the finest poems I have ever read. <br />Unburdening of thoughts, even i tried ...till I learnt it has to happen without trying. <br /><br />Amazing..!Kalpana Binduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776991616949704994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026229989382717845.post-22405587704624150602009-06-27T09:16:39.374+05:302009-06-27T09:16:39.374+05:30i write not with any certainty, balan. dissolve yo...i write not with any certainty, balan. dissolve yourself into the scene (or away from the scene) and look around you. things tick in a different way when you are not a player, a stakeholder, an observer with a self of your own detacted from the observed. this is some kind of meditation, i guess. such moments have poetry. obviously, we cannot be in such a stage all the time, because we have to make a living, live up to certain expectations, play our part, plan ahead, keep appointments... but with a measure of alertness, we can keep both things apart: what we have to perforce do to conform, detached from what we are. with alertness, i think we can swing from one side to the other like a freely swinging pendulum. some fortunate people do it naturally without even knowing about it. and some of us, as it had happened to me, get stuck on the noisy side, losing the poetry of the other side. we should set the pendulum swinging again.P.

Poetry is the rediscovery...very rightly said, Venu! Poetry is the rediscovery of oneself, and like a child, we look at ourselves afresh, we look at our surroundings afresh. But, emptying mind of thoughts is not easy for us common mortals, is it? Of course, we do have such momentary experiences, like when you gaze at a mountain or a beautiful bird or a happy young puppy. Mind ceases to exist then, there are no thoughts, no reflections, just you and the observed. It is in that oneness mind ceases to exist. When I write a poem, intensely, all I see are the images , and all i feel is the excitement of the words to jump out of me.Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.com
