INFANCY IS PURITY
A Poem by Bharat P. Bedi
It is nature’s miracle,
infancy is purity,
faith is inborn,
peace is in love,
truth is in confidence,
trust is in security,
where manmade barriers
of religion language
boundaries are passe,
only divine virtues of
emotion trust faith
are naturally sensed,
as accepted norm;
It is nature’s miracle,
infancy is purity,
trauma suffering
unbearable pain
of a moment ago,
turns to sublime bliss,
welling tears of joy,
on hearing cry
of just delivered child,
feeling divine surge
of ultimate ecstasy,
on holding bundle
of your own flesh,
future of self;
It is nature’s miracle,
infancy is purity,
growing in shape,
suffering, ensconsed in
constricted confines
of mother’s womb,
is instantly forgotten,
on cry of the child,
inhaling first breath of life,
bringing joy n happiness,
to dear ones around;
It is nature’s miracle,
infancy is purity,
trust is created,
sensed instinctively,
when a sleeping
new born child,
holds tightly,
finger of parent,
forging trust n faith,
ultimate bond of future;
It is nature’s miracle,
infancy is purity,
pure unadulterated
faith is displayed,
when tossed up child,
free of fear,
has confidence,
gleefully sensed,
that no harm will come,
as a protective shield,
of parent is present,
to catch his fall,
to guide every step,
of his future life;
It is nature’s miracle,
infancy is purity,
as life is guided,
by divine law of senses,
sense of divine faith,
sense of divine trust,
sense of divine emotion,
divinity rules the roost,
from which with age
we have drifted,
manmade boundary,
manmade religion,
manmade laws,
manmade language,
materialist glare,
has dimmed glow
of purity of infancy,
taken us away
from the divine path,
to insecurity of trust n faith,
restricting our progress,
restricting our growth.
