#polymath - Hello Poetry

We drift through time like autumn birds, We are nothing but uttered words. Not stone, nor flame, nor wealth we claim— But echoes tied to breath and name. A single phrase can shape a soul, A careless one can leave a hole. Though deeds may fade like prints in sand, Our spoken truth will always stand. The echo waits beyond the breath, Beyond the hush that follows death. A whisper now may yet be heard, A future shaped by just one word. We weigh our worth in loss and gain, In fleeting joy and lasting pain. But when the haze of time has stirred, We are nothing but uttered words. So speak with grace, let kindness lead, Let thought precede each planted seed. For words outlive our fleeting part— They build the soul, they bind the heart. And when your name begins to fade, Like twilight dimming into shade, Let love remain in lines once heard— We are nothing but uttered words.

We Are Nothing but Uttered Words

We drift through time like autumn birds, We are nothing but uttered words. Not stone, nor flame, nor wealth we claim— But echoes tied to breath and name. A single phrase can shape a soul, A careless one can leave a hole. Though deeds may fade like prints in sand, Our spoken truth will always stand. The echo waits beyond the breath, Beyond the hush that follows death. A whisper now may yet be heard, A future shaped by just one word. We weigh our worth in loss and gain, In fleeting joy and lasting pain. But when the haze of time has stirred, We are nothing but uttered words. So speak with grace, let kindness lead, Let thought precede each planted seed. For words outlive our fleeting part— They build the soul, they bind the heart. And when your name begins to fade, Like twilight dimming into shade, Let love remain in lines once heard— We are nothing but uttered words.

I know how cells are made I know how to write genetic code I know how clones are made I know about disease-causing defects in the code I know how to swim Not just how to swim I also know how to sing I even compose music And I also pluck a guitar string I play the guitar I play the flute I play carrom I play chess I write poetry I write novels But the best thing I do is survive I survived against odds when death came calling I survived when most doctors predicted me dying I survived 108°F fever when the virus was attacking I survived that accident and now all I have is living

There's a realm of perplexity Beyond the walls of reality A consequence of wits Behind a shroud of eyelids A constant sense of foreboding Of every recent shortcoming A conglomeration of me And all i seek to see But this depth is too deep And the slope is too steep The pull is constant and steady My own will feels petty Condemned to my hazy abode Muddled at the node Seeking only to find a path: The dreams of a polymath
