DIVINE DIFFERENCE

I'm different from you, from him, from the other;
We three are different from every other;
And different are we all from each other...
The mix'd design of Nature that we all differ
By blood, by choice, by grade, by kind, and contour.
The differences then benignly 'oeuvre'
Into the unifying force of Nature...

Like floral oneness beautifying the garden,
Like the chromatic union in the heaven,
The stars as they unite for loving nocturne,
And symphony of notes in charming fusion
That we assimilate into each other
By the rhythmic force of the 'Cosmic Dancer',
That we combine our unique verves and measures
For thrusts of Nature forward the Divine Course...

Diversities make the tenets of Creation,
In differences lies dynamics of Union;
With Odds are form'd the Supreme amalgam -
A link is each in the Eternal Spectrum.

Spread the kaleidoscope of sacred Nature
The paints of the Absolute Benefactor
That shift on for organismic fluorescence 
Over the deathly insipid indifference.

Behold I happiness of the diverse breeds,
Their treaties in the warmth of the marine steads;
Grieve that the glories of such natural canvas
We miss with the intent of devils to whitewash !

The home is home we lovingly belong,
Sorrows we share, and prides and joys among;
With bonds for Order'd Fragments that we live
Different for the Creation to survive...

I DO CRY : SONNET 59

I cry, I do cry breathless like a baby. You notice me or not but I do cry -- Whole drown'd in tears -- be it night or day it be -- No care if you find me absurd and wry. But I can't be unfair to cry, or vague If crying can protect me from strokes of death  That nothing else on earth can, though I beg With my bowl'd palms held heavenward in good faith. Yes, I do cry (Whoe’er on earth will not With the betrayer's dagger stabb'd in heart?), But know my tears will flow all through the drought And grow new plants of love ere life does part. Maybe to kill the fatal pain the heart bears, Come out generously life-giving tears. -- N. P. SAMAL 

TELL ME NOT

                     Tell Me Not Tell me not I was once a lad; An open sky that I once had, That offered me untold delight And lit my spirit day and night. Remind me not the days and nights That told me tales and flew my kites; Many a game that I did play With heart and soul unleashed and gay. Jog not my memory I once sailed Alone for miles and there beheld On either side, along the inlet, Many a willow and flowery thicket. Bring me not back the rights all lost,  All things that came by free of cost; Affection, love, all poured on me, Even when I was wilful, naughty. I'm in my time, leave me to suffer From weakness, bloating, bugs, whatever: Let me be in my dying yard; But tell not I was once a lad.   -- N P Samal 

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. -- N.
