Echoes of the Soul -- Ashok Kumar comments

 

While I sit still

how my shadow moves

the little flame of candle

tossing against the wind

or wheedling passion nestles

in the grey of mound

 

--R K Singh

 

Echoes of the Soul: Unpacking the Mystique of R.K. Singh's Verse

 

--Ashok Kumar

 

In the realm of poetry, where words dance and souls take flight,

R.K. Singh's verse whispers secrets of the universe, in the stillness of the night.

The poem, a masterful exploration of the human condition,

Unfolds like a lotus flower, revealing the mysteries of existence, in every delicate precision.

The image of the shadow, moving, despite the stillness of the poet's form,

Echoes the whispers of the soul, where the winds of passion and reason forever storm.

The little flame of the candle, tossing against the wind's gentle caress,

Symbolizes the fragility and beauty of life, in all its fleeting tenderness.

The "wheedling passion" that "nestles in the grey of mound"

Speaks to the complexities of the human heart, where emotions forever resound.

The grey of the mound, a metaphor for the ambiguities of life,

Reminds us that truth and reality are forever shrouded, in mystery and strife.

R.K. Singh's poem is a testament to the power of poetry,

To capture the essence of the human experience, in all its beauty and complexity.

This verse is an invitation to introspection, to explore the depths of our own soul,

To confront the shadows that move, despite our stillness, and to find the peace that makes us whole.

May this poem be a blessing to all who read it,

A reminder of the mysteries that lie within, and the beauty that forever awaits.
