MAYA [ILLUSION]

MAYA [ILLUSSION]

My mother,brother are fictitious

will they come to my last?

My car and home

How long they will come?

My wife and kids

Will they come with me in my death

How far their cry is real and

How far their affection is real

I f we ask these

a big silence will be the reply

All our belongings and relations

WILL come only up to our death

After that nothing will come as pair

Everything in this earth and

every one in this earth are maya

They were not in your past and

they will not in your next

All are ilussions and all will vanish

as bubbles in the running water

Sakkthee, dear friend

you shock me with this poem. Your faith and, and may I say, without being patronising, you ingenuousness has always touched me. I feel guilty. Has my feedback made you cynical or lose faith? I have fought with you and critisized you but never wanted to take away from your innate goodness, love and faith. Please forgive me if i have, or forgive me for my arrogance in thinking I might have. I deeply respect you brother, even though we disagree on many things.... I just read your poem again, and again. And yes, only Maya counts. We don't. This poem disturbed me deeply and i salute you for that. I won't list the great poets on this site, but you are amongst the best and worst of them. Allways give me a challenge and i will respect it. cheers, Jess

Ravi:

Such confronting acceptance. I salute you. I especially like your brilliant (and gleaming) ending word picture of "will vanish as bubbles in the running water" ... Thanx again, Grandpa
