Poem in response to the classical Sanskrit lyric…

by Great Works

— Afshara Choudhury

Poem — A response to the classical Sanskrit lyric

 

Life is unpredictable

So is the destiny of mine

As my life unfold

I rethink the past.

 

Once I read the Sanskrit lyric

For a moment he’s a child

It hit me to the Core

I understood the shift

From beginning

To the end of life.

 

I give a thumbs up

Poem about a child

Turn into a youth

As he glance through

Discover uncertainty.

 

I am a dreamer of the future

But

Somehow held by the calamity.

I am an over thinker of the past

Because of the mess in mind.

Last but not least

I like to express

Also i like to categorize

As it’s the great work

Consider the literature.
