REVIEW by Zararia Yul on poem of Rajani Mula….
“A Seed”

Carefree days of childhood freedom is gloriously captured by Rajani Mula in her poem “A Seed”.
She transports our emotions back into days of delightful play, angelic freedom glowing like a star, while being the apple of her parents eyes, in freedom flowing like a river.
Then it all ended abruptly with ” but those days melted like ice”, reflecting a cold, unloving period, by what appears to be an arranged relationship that never evolved from her freedom years, growing into a sacred and divine love affair, which would have been as natural as a flowing river into the next stage of her life.
However, the restrictions of an unnatural situation limited her freedom through duties and responsibilities she was neither prepared for, or willing to accept, causing her much grief and longing for youthful entertainment. She feels like a bonsai, being pruned and deprived of the right to grow as nature intended….free and wild.
But, all hope is not lost when she discovers a hobby and talent she could practise within her restricted life, giving her wings of words to find another form of freedom in expressing and releasing her pent up emotions and frustrations, opening her destiny from birth to once again flow in joy and mirth.
Well written Rajani, congratulations…

A Seed

She is like an angel of freedom
All she knew was to glow like star
She was the apple of her parents eyes
Child she was like a river at play

Sky was the limit of her joy
Like a deer in the woods she plays
But those days melted like ice
She was into a relation anew

Nothing but limitations welcomed her
Restricted her growth was like bonsai
She struggled like a sprout in the earth
Spreading her roots of hope

Nature was hers that of river
Which couldn’t stop its flow ever
Found her path at last destined to mirth
Proving that failures ain’t destiny of her birth!
