"When a Storyteller"

When a storyteller tells my story someday faraway,
I will be a shaded star shining dim;
Tell my life like a sonnet sung,
With words of once known faith;
Can't ask for a lotus to be dropped but a jasmine would do my grave.

  1. when a story teller tells your story someday
    how would anyone know it is about you, about a star?

    or would a shaded star be named after you?

    would the sonnet go by the name "kavita"?

    or would the words sound like "kavita"?

    what if a lotus drops ? would you also accept a jasmine? :)

  2. Mystery and uncertainty,
    Time and Tide,
    Lotus or Jasmine,
    Know what shall be mine.

    I know I am one sand-grain in a desert,
    With a spirit that pervades.

  3. when you say "one sand -grain in a desert" it does sound kinda pessimistic !

    I to the world am like a drop of water
    That in the ocean seeks another drop
    Who, falling there to find his fellow forth
    Unseen,inquisitve,confounds himself- shakespeare
