A seed germinates in mother Earth. <br />It receives the Water underneath. <br />It comes out of its seasonal trance- <br />Looks up towards the Sky for light- <br />Feels the Wind, breathes and carries- <br />The burning Fire for its growth <br /> <br />And grow it does upwards and downwards- <br />The two growths equal in magnitude- <br />To seat the Tree on the earth- <br />The growth directions different <br /> <br />Its karma, face down rooted deep, rests. <br />Its outward consequences remain exuberant. <br />They weather down all storms and lightning- <br />All cyclones, gales, fires and floods <br />One day thence it goes uprooted. <br />Karma ceases, it does not last. <br />All those consequences vanish. <br /> <br />A life once mooted once derived- <br />Thus goes into oblivion. <br />His Manifestation is this. <br />Upside down is illusion ours. <br />To comprehend it, is beyond human reach. <br /> <br />04 05 08<br /><br />Kesav Venkat Easwaran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beyond-human-reach/
