And on whose shoulders, Are placed the hands of Some monster Or the other. UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF VENERATION The infuriated scorpion, envenomed, Basking in the aura of veneration Look, look How tranquil, in repose In the noble company of gentlefolk And amidst glaring flash lights Lost in amazement Where, for a while In the twilight of courtesies Suddenly lulled are his perceptions. Like dark stains Do appear Our own….our very own tribe. Can you bear this Heart rending alienation, this drifting apart! And, who is this bystander, this puny man? Yet, his sky is full of lightning And his promises, scatter like dry leaves In a whirlwind . With what superb expectations are you standing there? You, With temples afire and parched tongue. With furitive glances Searching for dagger hidden in the ribs, somewhere Can you hear within yourself the sound of tingling blood Like warning bells? 154 :: January-March 2012
The warning bell does not ring once For the last time, but, continually Even when you seem to touch the skies. And then, You have to dive beneath And smell the sweat, the earth And have to, peer into the eyes of sorrow. In which, Ever rises and falls your world. And then, Arranging blossoms Will you feel the glowing warmth in the red hot kiln of faith? (Courtesy : Vani Prakashan) Chandrakant Deotale, born 1936 in Betul, M.P. is an eminent contemporary poet.

The warning bell does not ring once<br />
For the last time, but, continually<br />
Even when you seem to touch the skies.<br />
And then,<br />
You have to dive beneath<br />
And smell the sweat, the earth<br />
And have to, peer into the eyes <strong>of</strong> sorrow.<br />
In which,<br />
Ever rises and falls your world.<br />
And then,<br />
Arranging blossoms<br />
Will you feel the glowing warmth in the red hot kiln <strong>of</strong> faith?<br />
