TWO POEMS BY DR JERNAIL SINGH ANAND, INDIA.

The poems are philosophical which engage your attention from the beginning. The Holy Grain relates the concept of the eternal journeyman who is trying to find out from the earth the golden grain. The search continues in the Second poem, in which the poet presents a new philosophy of life.He finds animals and birds like different vehicles hired by droplets of life, like tributaries of rivers, moving towards the Ocean of Life.

THE HOLY GRAIN

I was told there is gold underneath

So I started digging the ground

I am the eternal journey man

And the gold still to be found

In this pursuit I will die,

And come again,

Million times before,

And million after in a train

I change the wrapper but inside

The same passion retain

To search out from this earth

The holy grain

Tireless am I, moving up the slope

Though lost at times,

In darks grope

Yet ever remain buoyed in hope

I was left aswirl by a powerful hand

To which I shall finally return

When the swirl is spent

Quenched at last in the Golden Tent.

🌼

OF RIVULETS & VEHICLES

A million rivulets carry water

through millions of gorges

making roaring noise at times

and change to cataracts

sometimes flow at ease

all finally moving

towards the sea

where millions of creations abide

life and death, side by side.

All the created universe

the birds, the animals,

and even small ants

hawks, cuckoos,

cocks snd peacocks

each created object is

a droplet of life,

inching towards the great ocean

to which death brings them one by one.

Here is the great pool of life

in which life and death coexistentially abide

From here the gaseous substances fly

And return to the earth

transformed into life

like tributaries, these droplets of life

hire various vehicles

and move towards the Ocean of Life.
