Still and because...

 


After  Guardian's  'because

Radhamani sarma

Still  and because...


Still in the wounded heart like a container

sift  and flow like flow rhymes  permeate,

because of steady stubborn crow in the cawing morn;

 reminder of ancestral voice descent soon.


 grass bent  and trampled stay safe

in the mounds of stones and  dry soil,

 because of some wet flowing from Heaven's bounty,

from Time's  creation,  His will  and Design 


not to be thwarted,  His ruling wand from Above,

 yet marching battalions  surge to bypass;

because of His  Unique  Table  where calculations

cannot go amiss  and will not so.


Salmon and crab  swim and    play 

by  splashes  and waft of boats and waves,

because of  inherent thrill and  life

ordained by Workman  on this rim less shore.


Moon still shines on this tedium

in the negation, life's last baggage,

until  a will to surrender to HIS WILL

 beckons to my coinage counting  still.


still praise be to this  world,  rearing so far,

 still kudos to this soil nurturing  our keel,

because  everything is tune with set  pattern

 inviolable in this still wounding world.
