Analysis of The reservoir

THE RESERVOIR----DR.K.G.BALAKRISHNAN
The Pure the clear transparent;
The colorless and the odorless;
The inmost, the vast the deep;
The aquamarine; the magnificent!
The great lake, I feel the cool
That preserve, the warm vibrating
To the Note enchanting zigzagging;
The enigmatic blossoming to the smile;
The Thought breezing, they patting hale;
The Tempest roaring smashing, the insane
They hoot; water flow in an' out, theMain.
Me the lunatic, swimming diving
An' floating calm; boating everywhere;
Shipping to the unknown as Gulliver did;
Enjoying the candid, trembling bewildering;
Circus, trapeze; acrobat an' at times buffoon;
At last returning to the greenroom, to the cabin!
Often I dream am I the Alilakkannan-
The spore legendary on the banyan leaf-
Floating in theGreatOcean, the thought-bank,
The eternal Reservoir of bounds infinite!
The Space.
