Water

Sometimes thirst itself becomes life

To live in a hot country is not easy,
And without water, strange I am living,
Infinite years of thirst, eyes gazing up,
If He can offer me any water, water!
What I am without water?
An empty vessel only, a wilderness,
cannot offer shadow, do not even fruit,
Who will like to sit on me to take rest,
I am a sand only, unrefined,
Only water can change me, make me pure,
With its immaculate drops, I will be an oasis than,
What I will be with water?
I will be nothing, everything will be water,
It will change me, make me new,
To change will crush my individuality,
It will break the continuity of wait,
Wait everlasting in an interrupting life,
I will be lost than, lost forever,
I will be water than, water will be me,
That is why I am saying it,
The only thing I need is water,
The only thing I need not is water.

there are two scenarios which are contrasting here, you need water and you need not. You need water to change because now you are feeling like an empty vessel but if it's filled you are not happy with because you will afraid of loosing individuality. I think, this plainly is dilemma. Where one has to be dynamic enough to change but one does not wish too, but I read somewhere the philosophy is like a wax. It would be remain even if you change the form. The water may change you but adaptability matters a lot, or else the current will sink you.

This is undoubtedly not a poem but an epic itself that centres around life's most needful element i.e. water. I belong to that distant desert area in Rajasthan where water's scarcity is felt every moment. Even the place where I am posted is in dark water zone where to think for having a bath is a quest and for the drinking water it is supplied too hard.
This poem that tells the pangs of water-shortage. Water is one of the elemonts required for the existance not only for human beings but also for all organisim.

As for the beauty of the poem it is matchless and words are effectively expressed.

Stay thirsy for a single day you will have the real feel for the importance of water..

(What am I without water), (Not even fruit) (I am sand) Ok a few minor details there but the essence is water. The way it encompasses our life. In the many different aspects from purifying to quenching thirst to the fluid aspects of our personality. I think this writing tries to embrace the concept in its entirety to the everending which of course is to acknowledge that although water is indispensable for life is not the one and all.

Great feelings.

Thankyou
