The Poet's Biopsy

It’s an ode to the word “Family”

I the thinker started it one day,

What my soul contained in its bay?

A thousand samples were collected.

Oh my, my, someone cheated.

My one was not one, but a threesome four.

A trio entwined my tiny core.

There must be a foul.

Adulteration in the soul's sole!

Biopsy progressed and reached the teeniest.

It's again the three on the fore.

How can one be won by three and be a four?

Will you believe?

The LS, CS and all sections done.

They show the three entwining and invading the one.

 

How?

 

The souls I love,

The souls that love,

Covered in the costume called family,

Persuaded The Almighty, to change the rules finally,

For filling my one with the Trinity,

And bringing the love in its infinity.

I smile at the revelation,

And then comes the jubilation.

This might be one of the most imaginative ways to write about the way we carry the Holy Trinity inside & how it informs every move we make, every thought we think, every dissection of our lives, we can see evidence of how the Holy Trinity has played out a plan that's regardless of whatever plans we thought we were making. Frankly, I had to read this twice to capture a few more nuances . . . I'm sure I didn't get all of them, becuz I'm not good at catching heavily nuanced messages. But I certainly did feel the main message & the playfulness with which you told it. I love it when writers play with words such as your: "soul's sole" . . . and "how can one be won" . . . this is the kind of crafting that adds an extra spark to a message.

Thank you Margie ! This review means a lot to me.
Actually I was swinging in between the spiritual and mundane and there were other factors too.. I had little attractions left in life ( Suguna' s Lover) and my mind always wanted freedom for my spiritual odyssey. Somehow I had to balance things; soul wanting something and duties demanding attention and a little more introspection has brought me back.
Without this realization, I wouldn't have balanced my life between my own aspirations and my duties. I realize that when we suffer, we make our people also suffer though unintentionally. They don't deserve that. And they are loving and enduring , I owe them something. So this poem... I am glad The Almighty put sense in me to realize this. Margie, the trinity is important in life. And I am glad that you read into that ...
Thank you so much for this review...

I did deep into this. I guess this is an ode to your family. Nice one.

[PencilinMyHair]

I love the bouncy rhythm in which you wrote this, which aids the more serious undertones of the words - overall, a pleasure as always to read!

Hello Bala, firstly this is so cleverly and uniquely expressed!
I love how you think of your family 'entwining' that's a beautiful soulful way to express your love and adoration for your family, when we become one. A beautiful piece. Regards Ray xo

The inspiration that this piece holds is a beauty in itself. :)

Thank you for reading and appreciating this poem. :-):-):-)

No matter what the message you convey, I find beauty in this piece, of infinite learning and understanding, knowing when to listen and when to speak, for love and affinity know when to be heard and when to listen. the three four I see as the family you later speak of, perhaps partner plus two, or perhaps a more open expanse, ie, parents and child, but for arguments sake, let m=us say I am right with the first...Your words celebrate, yes celebrate the affinity between others and rejoices in it, it is really is superfluous of me to dig for meaning when I already understand what you are saying, that it is the poet doing the biopsy and being blessed at the outcome. That is what I captured in your words....If wrong, it is still a most beautiful thought.

Thank you, Nemo. You have interpreted my write very well.
As souls we are free and unique. Our experiences, pains and pleasures are our own. No one can go through them the way we experience. The same is true for the people we love. We may love them intensely but we do not go through the same emotions and pain they go through.
Love becomes bondage when they try to hold you back in your journey. I have gone through that phase all through. That gives a pain to us though we love them most. You have to sacrifice everything for them for the word called family. In that pull you never realize when they take a step forward and occupy you and posses you.
But if you accept it as love and bow to it then you see bliss. You give it back willingly and it forms a circle and cycle of mutual understanding. Then wherever you are, the oneness is there with them. There is just understanding and love and no complaints in that state.
This poem is my acceptance and acknowledgement of that fact. There is bliss in surrender and losing yourself to something else. This poem was written after that revelation.

Family, nothing more important than familial relationships. They form our personalities at a young age and stay with us always. We love them even with all their faults. Lovely. Lydi**

[Nwang]

This is a great poem . Very unique and clever way of describing triplets. Well done *clap* *clap* *clap*

[Bala Gorthi]

Well Nwang, by trinity, I mean the three souls that are around me. One of them is my husband. Even though I am on the spiritual path my life is consumed by these loving souls around me. And I can only thank the God in tying me in this mundane bond.
Thanks for reading and reviewing..:-):-)
