What follows is ‘Alma’ – an enchanting verse and an equally enchanting painting:The pen inspired,
Stringing words together.
The brush, splashing them
With a myriad of colours and hues,
A small tribute,
The Painted Verse.
And the next... and the next... and the next...“From my brush to my canvas,
My pen to my verses,
I created You
In my likeness......
..........
Pure Consciousness
One with the Universe”
Now visualize a picture for the above lines...Pankaj Kumar Saxena has done it! Oh again, my confusion – maybe he painted first and then, Preeta wrote the poem...? Or...?“Two trees,
One old, wizened,
The other, green, young,
Engaged in a heart to heart....”
And the story follows...find out for yourself...The painting on one side of the page and the poem on the other, took my breath away...“The little tree smiles,
“tell me more”, he pleads,
The wise one nods,
Pleased to acquiesce.”
