A Soldier of Snow

Future memory

Is a home,

Of fire

A soldier of snow

Springs success

Out of war,

Chained in trust,

A water of time.

By Samij Datta, Poet, Writer, Fluxist

Discourse on the poem: Memory which is a record of events in time is the signifier of a “home of fire” in the poem. The line “a soldier of snow” recalls Doors’ song “unknown soldier”. The implications of the words home, success, war, trust, time are more about premonitions or visions than anything else.- Joy Roy Choudhury, Writer, Art Critic, Consultant.

    THOUGHTS PLAY WITH THE WORDS TO FLOW IT,
    BUT SOMETIMES WORDS PLAY WITH THOUGHTS AS A DIVINE TREAT,
    THOUGHTS GETS JUSTIFIED THRU’ WORDS,
    BUT THERE DO WORDS GETS JUSTIFIED WITH THOUGHTS?

    HERE WORDS GETS EXPRESSED WITHOUT THOUGHTS,
    INTELLIGENTLY IT IS DIFFICULT TO DECODE FOR THOSE WHO FOUGHT,

    BUT SIMPLE EFFORT TO FLOW WITH WORDS AS IT FLEW,
    CAN HELP ALL TO KNOW THE TRUTHS AS IT WILL BRILLIANTLY GLOW,

    wORDS oFTEN rUN dOWN THE sYSTEM,
    WITH AN URGE ON THE SYSTEM TO EXPRESS AS ANTHEM,

    BUT THERE INTELLIGENCE CRAWLS IN AFTER ITS SENSE,
    ONLY TO MAKE IT KNOW THAT INTUITION CAN ONLY HELP IF IT IS USED AS A LENS.
