Gimme a chalice of truth & pious light
A light so bright that can burnout sun
Fill my chalice ‘oh humble Genius’ cause it longs for some light
My rescue ship takes me to away from the plant of plight
Awaken the darkened rooms of disparity
All you fooled ones open your eyes
Have a sip of faith
Have a sip of hope
Have a sip of newness
Break the myths of knownness
Try a drink will you my friend!!
Lets mix our drinks, will ya…
My chalice is half full
Now you say it is half empty
And I say no I’ve a bigger chalice than yours!!!
A Hungry Mind devouring knowledge, breaking myths and norms and filling their chalice with some light!!!
ReplyDeleteonce again awesome job done Meenal.in this my favorite lines are about having a sip of faith, hope and newness.
ReplyDeleteLiked the way you have describe darkness and perception. Specially with word "Chalice"
Small Explanation about the metaphors of the poem!!
ReplyDeleteChalice: Mind!
Chalice is holy cup that holds heavenly juices that leads to salvation. Here mind too stands for the same thing. Mind is heavenly cup given to us by god, What you fill it with is your prerogative.
The poem is a plea to all the geniuses to give me, their knowledge & Wisdom. A mind that is hungry for knowledge, to try & learn new Things!! So the reference to the Humble Genius: to those profound thinkers who have changed the world in their own way!! Humble is coz they also don’t realize that they are genius!!
It is an urge to the people to leave behind the blinders & live for a better tomorrow. Have faith for a better, different future. In the end it is boastful coz after seeing this shallow, fake world. I concur that my Chalice is better than most.
People are happy, fake & Stagnant in this world. Afraid to leave behind what you already know, to try on something new!!
Thanks for the brief xplanation.... initially I perceived it other way round, but now its crystal clear.
