IMMENSITY

 

IMMENSITY

 

 

Visitors to a site are awestruck,

Millennia rock stands its sock,

Single is the stone carved out,

The temple idols items sprout, (1)

 

Electric and atmosphere quietude,

Visitors watching love attitude,

The pride and disbelief ethereal lit,

Across the age mesmerize hit, (2)

 

Magical impossibility imagine,

Million tons of rock dug mine,

Single stone granite hard fit,

Why did men build this temple, lit, (3)

 

How many worked, year long,

How many years toiled, song,

What benefit they get salvage,

What were the motives, had craze, (4)

 

Link footprints of civilization,

Forgot a past scientific notion,

No trace of technology visible,

Modern science denies feasible, (5)

 

Rejects possible construction,

Noticed in front phenomenon,

Hours I passed there moving,

Feeling somewhat whispering, (6)

 

You, human, belong to times,

Civilization class determines,

Far superior current science,

Better a technology convince, (7)

 

Lost everything difficult thing,

Monstrosity construction blink,

It resembles temple idols a lot,

The language carved out alert, (viii)

 

There was literature, arts and crafts,

Humans lived freely, had artifacts,

The gold jewelry, clothes, spices,

Traveling far west best prices, (9)

 

The site I visited reminds me well,

East Asia Hindu temples hail,

Executive carving symbolic lit,

Culture across country delight, (10)

 

Festivals ritual practices neat,

Calculated by stones sunlight,

The position of the star moon date,

Position of planets season wait, (11)

 

Determine the exact date, time,

The rock temple, single define,

Reclined to a granite wall stay,

Probed pristine past I dismay, (12)

 

Being a technocrat failed to face,

Million tons of rock displaced,

No lift crane vehicle crushers,

Simple hammer times ushers, (13)

 

Before me stood impossibility,

Speechless, defied rationality,

It was evening, returned home,

The immensity felt awesome, (14)

 

Civilization, immensity defeat,

The culture immensity was deleted,

That defeats millennia intact,

Immensity attractive impact. (15)

IMMENSITY

 

IMMENSITY

 

 

Probes life contemplate, retired,

Creator His gift to life inspired,

Surprises, the master to choose,

The womb, His decision infuse,(1)

 

Discovers time newborn share,

If silver spoon, if not gold stare,

Loud cries but pleasures visible, tell,

By birth, inherit millions, detail, (2)

 

Wait two generations, desperate,

The clan, inheritance, intimate,

Easier life grows phenomenally,

Aristocracy inborn no anomaly, (3)

 

Same, the second, at a different place,

A mud cottage, a birth interlace,

The womb of a sick mother risk,

Birth of a child, her hand frisk, (4)

 

Relived, breaths her son thinks,

Baby is a son, not daughter links,

Her aspirations ambit limitless,

Dreaming on a sickbed impress, (5)

 

Her poverty community inherited,

Child and womb identified, super hit,

The silver spoon or golden exists,

Mediocre life, lazy, luxurious list, (6)

 

Enjoys life flattens less worries,

Unknown to him, lack miseries,

Plays well, sleep well, food tasty,

Marriage in time children hasty, (7)

 

Birth, wedding, and death news,

People gather to observe to diffuse,

The child in the cottage develops,

Grew to be the leader time hopes, (viii)

 

A leader of the country popular,

From peasant rises spectacularly,

The sick mother got well watch,

People treat her son the match, (9)

 

Match with divine grace a birth,

supersede a silver spoon worth,

Illiterate rustic mother cradled,

Creator liked her son, saddled, (10)

 

The seat is not on horse country,

Destined to mantle quick entry,

Rose from a root ground phoenix,

Ordinary farmer a time transfix, (11)

 

In contrast to luxury comfort gold,

His lifestyle is simple to service bold,

Service to the sick, poor, and needy,

Creator cast a spell less greedy, (12)

 

No interest in family life, single,

Service to the country is simple,

Magnetic charms electric word,

Inflames million heart forward, (13)

 

Symbol of prosperity, boldness,

Decisions, out of the blue, impress,

Child with silver, golden spoon,

His name fades, in memory soon, (14)

 

The second his birth was recognized,

Nation remembers the date prized,

Legacy eternal memory lane lit,

Immensity Lord's intention tilt. (15)
