The Eternal Artist

 



                        


                

 

                                   

 1.            The potter molds the pot on the whirling wheel

To shape the dream of his beautiful art;

The wheel goes on turning on and on to reveal

His dream in lively form of ideal pot; 

Some are queer in shape, and some, not burnt well

The potter still strives after the magic spell

Till he molds his dream concrete and clear

Till he reaches perfection almost near.

 

2.    The weaver weaves his visions in various designs

Intertwining various colors in patterns bright

The fabric seems not so striking and fine

Lacking in perfect texture and attractive to sight

He tries his hand to find new picturesque forms

Interblending colors of Nature cool and calm

Unruffled he works on his loom with renewed zeal

To imprint his concept of fabric with soft silken feel. 

 

3.    The jeweler untiringly works with sharp, keen sight

Polishing and cutting the sparkling stone

Reflecting the light in myriad ways bright

Through magnifying lens, undisturbed and alone

He strives and strains to get perfect polish to get

He never stops though his aching muscles hurt

A dazzling diamond he strives to gain

Hoping his efforts never go in vain.

 

4.    The painter puts all his efforts to draw

The picture of his colorful thoughts

He tries to mend and never tolerates flaws

He puts his heart and soul to perfect his art

Though he falters often he will not rest

Still, he paints his thoughts and strives his best

Through his consummate art, he feels himself content

Unexhausted so many tireless hours he spent. 

 

5.   God makes and unmakes everything in Nature

So many changes and alterations, behold! 

In creation we find and so many features

Nature refurbishes herself, new and bold

God plays ever in many mysterious ways

Towards perfection His eternal art and play

Even earthly beings evolve within their range

Follow his ways to some extent, unique and strange.
