Conflict

a poem by Devi Nangrani

It is the heart that lets you live,
It is the heart that strengthens,
The intricacy of human relations
With warmth, care and affection.
But, it is the mind that lets you think,
It is the mind that creates, resolves,
Crushes the care, the warmth, ailing affection
That uproots the delicacy of all finest relations.
It is the mind that makes sweet sour and sour sweet.
It displays the misty shadow of a rainbow,
At the farthest horizon of all relations,
That accepts the illusion, declines the real.
It is the union of heart and the mind
That imparts unique togetherness
With the feeling that one is other
And the other is one.
