A remarkable story is being retold
That seems as new as it is old
Of a man extraordinaire
Who was born with wisdom and love that is rare
Today lets go and take a peep
At the young princes who couldn't sleep
The richness and luxury of their palaces
Couldn't compete with the luxurious expanse of open spaces
Their Royal clothes did not measure
To The soft and loving lap of nature
The gurgling streams, singing a lullaby
And the musical chirps to wake up by
What is life Bereft of these wonderful joys
Wondered the young boys
And more solemn than his siblings
Uneasy lay the one who would be King
For his heart was filled with love, and his soul with purity
He struggled with knowing what is the meaning of royalty
for he had a gift or was it a curse?
He saw, beyond the clamour and beyond the noise
The wrinkled face searching for a voice
He heard the unspoken
He saw the unseen
His heart ached with their pain
And his eyes filled with their tears
Was a kings duty to stand apart at arms' length
Or to follow his heart'd be his biggest strength
Was he to pay heed to the words of the mighty and strong
To the heir to the throne, it seems all wrong
For in his infinite wisdom, that he learned from the sages
The wisdom that had been passed down through ages
To heal and help, to touch and reach out, to love and care
To rejoice in others joys and to allay their fears
That was the kind of man Rama was
And that was the king he wanted to be ...
Sorry dears, but I loved loved loved the episode so so much,
This is what Rama means to me, what we saw last night is what my vision of Him is
So this post is full of Bhakti bhava, I wanted to write in Hindi,
That is language I am most comfortable in
But kya karain Hindi font is not supported here!
One interesting point - Sita's fascination for the golden dear seems to be a childhood unfulfilled desire !
And how tragically it remain unulfilled!
Anupamaa
