Here’s Rajashree’s tribute to the divine rhythm of nature—charting the celestial journey of time, creation, and the unseen hand of God, exclusively for Different Truths.
He is seen on the horizon,
Climbing the steps of clouds,
While time eventuates the night,
And the world gets up at once,
Leaving the darling hearts behind,
ready for a flight.
Wrapped in bedsheets,
He walks majestically over the steps;
The dales and the mountains,
Cities and the streets reverberate.
He facilitates
Smooth union of crawling streams with the sea,
Drenched in the morning fog and the dew,
And sets out in the evening,
Sinking beneath a crimson ring,
Resting the gallops with yet another view.
The mighty maker, of course, fails
To either repeat or rework his past,
To prove again and again
That goes beyond the customary rules,
The Omnipotent power
Has scheduled for all his men.
Oh, the Almighty!
Thanks a lot for resetting
The vision of the universe is off and on.
