Wow - The poem is such a beauty! , Find no words to express my wonder.
You found a wonderful framework for this poem, with the phrase NO NEED introducing one gorgeous image after another. As in NATURE, this poem is one of observation of the world's natural beauties and a single human being's gratitude for it. And I strongly sense the theme of humility I've found in your other poems. That theme is like a prayer that runs through your poems, not stated directly but implied. This poem, also like NATURE, is a series of beads on a chain that shine with spiritual as well as physical beauty. Or it is a flight of steps that take us up, up, up to the crowning spiritual reality. And there the poet and reader fall silent - in wonder and humility.
I clicked on this poem because the title intrigued me and the poem more than lived up to my expectations. Your imagination is alive with possibilities to create images of truth and beauty. I have a book of paintings called A CELEBRATION OF LOVE: THE ROMANTIC HEROINE IN THE INDIAN ARTS, which I really love. The same author also has a book of the Krishna-Radha story. Your poem could be matched with many of the paintings reproduced which emphasize the devotion and sincerity of women in love. The big difference is that you argue the women's emotion are so genuine they don't artificial things; their beauty shines from within and illuminates the world.To paraphrase Shakespeare, O BRAVE NEW WORLD WITH SUCH WOMEN IN IT! !
Great imagination undermining the need of artificial things before natural ones. Enjoyed reading.
No need for words to express faith and goodness other than the sighs and waves left behind the virtues
Wonder if it really is true about good deeds and virtues......God seems turn a blind eye to those who follow such old fashioned rules. Beautiful verses. That for inviting me
God manifests Him thru Nature.There is no need of any gems and jewels if we are blessed by the beauty of nature and god as well.All the words are penned to fit the mood of the content.Awesome.Thanks for inviting me.
Only love is needed; nothing else....beautifully demonstrated by you....
