Manohar Devadoss is truly one of the greatest people I've ever had the fortune to interact with and learn from. This poem titled Dreams, Seasons and Promises depicts my thoughts and feelings after reading his poignant book of the same name illustrated with his photographs and art .This is an ode to his courage and fortitude. I am truly inspired by him.
What adds the magical
spark to life’s every memory?
And turns them into
cherished melodies
Hope that makes one
nurture a dream,
Changing seasons like
the course of a stream.
Like the magical Oberlin
days,
Simply wondrous in so
many ways
Camping out in the wild
west,
Some of the best memories
in your treasure chest
Anyone can make hay in
the sun,
But true magic lies in
braving all odds and emerging the one.
It is both of your
courage and courage alone,
That turned every darkness
into a new light and shone.
The promise of
togetherness,
Through each and every
crisis
You are truly persons of
all seasons,
Who can make the world
smile where others see no reason.
Dreams are like mirrors
into our souls,
When snatched it takes
forever to become whole.
Some came true, some
shattered,
Yet you triumphed all
odds, never once battered.
My dreams did not come
true too,
But to chase new ones
and to make the best of everything that comes I am inspired by you.
