Rajashree’s poem explores the fleeting nature of life, highlighting the blending of sorrows and joys, exclusively for Different Truths.
The past Vanishes like the morning dew, And eyes get wet with tears for memories that felt good. The sorrows and the joy, In an infinite domain of light and shade illuminate our short sojourn Under an unyielding firmness in cold coherence. The mourners in their turn Mourn adequately confirms them bolted sympathy Life slips into a sad graveyard That sleeps underneath a grove Murmurs in melancholy With the passing of the spring wind. The grave synchronises. The poor and the rich, the kings and his subjects The Leader and his followers The saints and the sages Irrespective of cast, colour and creed And trap them alike as the witnesses of time. Their ruptured trials to attain immortality Teach the descendants to live a life Without fear and pain During the sojourn in this mortal world.
