O Lord Vyasa
why do you write?
O man of intellect, as tall as a mountain
like the petals of a flowering lotus
white – in a sea of murky black
O Lord Vyasa, O man of infinite words,
why do you write?
The Upanishads and the Geeta
poems that will live through the millennium
O man of words how imperishable
are thy writings!
The lamp of wisdom burning bright
over 5000 years ago
full of essence of the great poem
about the Great War
that took place eons ago,
But till today the battlefield happens
everyday, in our hearts
as your characters
and their faults and their goodness
war for attention in our everday life
O Lord Vyasa, Lord of the Vedas
why do you write?
~ Dr. Swati Piramal in “The Light has come to me”
Amazing poem. But till today the battelfield happens in our hearts …… so true
