Rootless In A Vase

[Inspired by “Flowers In A Vase” by Bulgarian Poet Alexander Shurbanov (Translated into English by Ludmila G Popova-Wightman) ]. Thanks to renowned reviewer and blogger, Mr. PGR Nair, who posted the poem on Facebook yesterday.] A bunch of rootless flowers Stacked pleasingly in a vase Hiding their pain, all in smiles Placed on desktop Just for our comfort Like the rootless that roam the earth Paining our sobbing conscience! Is it not the same ache we have Deep at the bottom of the heart? Every human babe - is it not A flower inside a vase To pine, pine and pine Looking at the forlorn star Rootless on the plane called life?
