[hometext] => Based on the life of a poet..
[bodytext] => As a child
In my dreams I saw angels and goddesses
Dancing gracefully while swaying their heads
Like heavenly trees, with sweet smiling faces
Like flowers gazing at me with lovely glances!
As a young man
The floor on which we danced was spread
with thorns earlier, tears you did shed
but now the spring has made a flowerbed
for us to dance and worship the Cupid.
As a writer
I paid homage to Shakespeare and Kalidasa
Before I have started my career as a dramatist
In Telugu, the most beautiful language of the East
And tried to win the heart of Eternal Muse!
As a yogi
Conversed with many sages of the past
when I saw them in my astral flight
Conversed with many angels of light
when I saw them in the space of my heart
As a man of truth
Understanding of the mysteries of universe
Is not possible till we understand the secret
Of the universal soul which exists as nucleus
Of every atom and the substratum of the world!
As a devotee of God
May the blissful love of God be ours
May the grace of God lie about us,
The friendship of God we have sought,
May God extend our life so that we may live!

| There are no words oh Master to praise the literary gems that flow from your golden pen, I am sometimes dissapointed by what I read here at YPDC but then a poem from you and there is hope again for a struggling old man that loves the written word. I salute You bernard. |

I missed the growth of the forum you speak of, but did not miss one step of the man who writes with a feathered pen...fluid and artistically. And yes...the understanding of the substratum is quite a complex task, but joyous nonetheless through any stage of life.
Beautifully penned my friend!
Angel always...Joni 0:-)

I suppose that all of these facets are the reason that you are such a master of the word? I tend to think so. You delight and enlighten me all the time. Thank you.

Fantastic!...I've hit a point in my life where I've turned to god, and started believing in him...when I was younger I did, but I always had my doubts....when my grandmother died I lost all hope in god and stopped believing...every once in awhile I would go back to faith, but this time I'm actually back and praying...I feel as if I am now connected to him...it feels great!...
please comment on my work too

I am too awed to even venture to comment Venkat Sir.
The floods of gifts you were bestowed with are just too unbelieveable.
Where the great philosophers toil and struggle to find words, propositions, demonstrations, etc. etc. you just fly beyond them like a golden arrow.
Awesome the calling to whom has been given so much!
Blessings
Elizabeth |
