Immortality

March 12th, 2012 by naren bedide

 

The seed, dying,

promised the crop

 

The little flower, withering,

promised the fruit, with a smile,

 

The forest, burning,

promised the conflagration

 

The sunset, shaking hands,

promised the sunrise

 

Immortality is beautiful.

 

Embracing time, it

promised a new world.

 

My translation of the Telugu poem 'amaratvam' by K.G. Satyamurthy ('Sivasagar'), from his collection of poetry 'Sivasagar Kavitvam'.
