Poetry
CONCRETE
By JohnnyD
03 April 2007
Another poem by Narendra Saxena, which I have translated from Hindi to English. The title remains the same.

CONCRETE

They leave space to bloom
        In spite of being bonded together as buds

There is space left in between pebbles
         In spite of being together
They leave equal space
        In between them to breathe free

In which sand is filled up!

Each particles of sand
        Leaves a space
Equal to what it really occupies
        In between them

In these spaces are filled the concrete!

Cement
           Bonded so tightly
Yet hold spaces
     In which water accomodates oh so easily

And water...

The power of relationship
       To understand the importance
Always leaves a space
          So the tale of concrete states!

                                                                       - Johnny D
