The Truth Poem by Sathya Narayana

The Truth

Rating: 4.9


TRUTH
During the scalding summer, how much
we yearn for a chilling morning drizzle? !
When in the bone biting winter lurch
don't we pray for a sunny sizzle?

Which season can man bear; I marvel
without a demur, to its full run? !
Yet swaggers he with synthetic preen
that he conquered the nature's riddle!

Come storm, Tsunami or some crisis
man at last comes to his consciousness
amidst falling contraptions of his
false conceptions and failed finesse!
Whence sprouts from the ruins of reason,
rationale and dialectics; the Truth
the vital Truth; that's beyond his breadth
to see, feel, deal, conceive and reckon! !
On that day when he is at his wits end
...no way to fight, no where to run and hide...
he can only seek the help of the Hand unseen
and kneel with faith before those Feet divine!

I wonder how many of us keep asking, 'What is truth? '. Maybe, truth is what we find with which we can live comfortably. Something or someone we don't fully understand but can accept without troubling or questioning thoughts. Truth then may be something that will last for awhile or it may be someone we can accept forever.

When in trouble, people turn to GOD. They ignore and laugh till the day of calamity then on their knees praying.

Sathya ji, Your first para is so true! In this hot & dry Delhi summer I am praying for rain & early winter! The 'Truth' is there for us to find as always! In one of my poems I had prayed to God not to take all our sufferings away, or else we will forget to take His name! 10 +++ -Raj Nandy
