" when God is a Traveller"
Trust the god back from his travels, his voice wholegrain (and chamomile),
his wisdom neem, his peacock, sweaty-plumed, drowsing in the shadows.
Trust him who sits wordless on park benches listening to the cries of children fading into the dusk, his gaze emptied of vagrancy, his heart of ownership.
Trust him who has seen enough— revolutions, promises, the desperate light of shopping malls, hospital rooms, manifestos, theologies, the iron taste of blood, the great craters in the middle of love.
Trust him who no longer begrudges his brother his prize, his parents their partisanship.
"when God is a traveller" poem by Arundhathi Subramaniam. This poem is awarded by Kushwant Singh memorial prize fore poetry on 25 January 2015.we all find ourselves feeling closer to God in different ways. For you it might be reading a spiritual book on his love for us, for others it is worship music and for some it is fellowship at church. It varies from person to person and there is no right or wrong way to experience this, God makes Himself know through his creation so that all creatures are without excuse.
In this poem poet use the word Trust many time, so some time we feel that poet wants that we have to trust that God who come back from the travel. This word shown the prasoic in poem. Because During the travel God seen many things. This travel is, he done without reason.
In 'When God is a Traveller', Subramaniam weaves metaphors, metaphors that are distinctly hers, into language that is simultaneously fluid and simple. Everydayness is woven as a metaphor rife with allusions to the deeper meanings of life.Subramaniam’s poetry collection is the imagery. Even when the meaning of the poems eludes the reader, the meaning-making processes remain accessible through the vivid images constructed, which interact with each other to produce meaning. In this text, the meaning is created through the words as well as through the imagery.
Thank you...
