Love And Eternity in Tran Thi Lan Anh's Poetry

Dr. Manoranjan Das

          Tran Thi Lan Anh, the international poetess par excellence accelerates love where eternity is endowed about, by terminating the essence
inasmuchwith existence. The great poetess knows,
love is often experienced as an eternal force that transcends time, acting as a profound connection that persists beyond physical existence, and she further, makes herself to know, while human life is finite, love represents a participation in eternity, a timeless emotion often expressed through promises of 'forever' to bridge the gap between our mortality and the desire for infinite connection. Thus , she writes,

'Love is never just one shade,
not only sweetness, nor sorrow displayed.
Every heartbeat , drift or strong ,
holds a color is cartied only.

Sometimes shining light,
Sometimes silent in endless night.
If you've not walked love's winding sea
how could it know its mystery.'1

          Basingly on speaking, she adhers love into her mind, attributing the self through activity in day to day life where erroneous out look is normed to perpetual bondage through ethical attitude. She carries sometimes into her mind , by testing to endearning that warmth return is closeed to silent fear with feelings. Thus, she writes,
' Love in not just colors bright ,
like rainbows fading after bright.
Through bitter taste we learn what's true,
through distance, feel what love can do.

The road of love is steep and long,
yet not all hearts must grieve alone.
For after night, the dawn till rise,
and warmth returns beath cold skies.

If hearts stay in close silent fear,
time can not heal what we won't hear.
Unlock the door , let feelings flow,
a beating heart still longs to grow.2
   
         Expressively speaking, the psychological and spiritual depth, that is, the practical aspects of love is iterated to eternal' , and, medium of it describes this as feeling love  continuously, often linked to a deeper, more spiritual connection that remains regardless of whether the loved one is present. She has the consciousness with    fleeting game, parting to hearts remaining  the quite peace  beyond lain. Thus, she writes,

'Love is not just fleeting game,
nor parting hearts to shift the blame.
Though paths may part and drift alart,
they still remain within the heart.

Love is not only tears that fall,
but gentle light that warms us all.
For those who trust, love will remain
a quite peace beyond the pain.'3

         Authentically speaking, Tran Thi Lan Anh sparkens herself through poetry of love
as norm and form  of morality and eternity.
She sparkens further
in time through attachment while we may confuse deep attachment with eternal love, true love is often characterized as unconditional, existing outside the boundaries of time and everyday life with basic area of eternity. Thus, we may attach a sonnet,

'Eternity is acted through the depth
With moments where the protons of the great 
Genuineness is affirmed with the faith,
That is wooed to soul and mostly to exalt.


Eternity sees gratude if the time 
Accrues to meaner and better hostile
Where the finest apt rows to theme like game
For promising faculty as a profile.


Eternity is for the application
Through the mobility of our giving 
And taking, at all, with moderation
Of positiveness to  please by saving.


Eternity goes for the best future
And it is to give for  heart's ever warm fare.'4


               Accurately speaking, the evergreen poetess, Tran Thi Lan Anh brightens herself in poetry, for those who love, time is eternity, and it is noted ,  suggesting that profound affection makes the concept of time irrelevant, and ,the feeling is that love is the only aspect of life that offers a glimpse into a reality beyond the physical world, and ultimately, love makes life complete and leaves a lasting legacy. She has into herself the painting dream, by whispering like rhyme, by learning through feeling in silence or through cloud's echoing.Thus, she writes,
'To love is learning how to fall,
to feel alone among them all.
A silent smile hides what we feel,
while midnight tears refuse to heal.

So many rows once brightly made,
now driftlike clouds that slow by fade.
Promises lost within the air,
leaving only echoes there.'5

        Uniquely speaking, she endows, from the moments we share, to where time loses certainty, and, when the road fades and all journeys reach their end, how long until we meet in that place of eternity. She keeps the deeper root of pain and pleasure of love through the eternity by feeling and touching. Thus, she writes,
'Love is fragile, hard to keep,
the deeper roots, the pain runs deep.
Trust once broken, falls apart,
shattered pieces of the heart.

Love- a wound we can not see,
bleeding through eternity.
Time may pass, yet still we know,
touch it once...and feel bit grow.'6

         Tenderly speaking,  Tan Thi Lan Anhi geenifies herself, love is the practical aspect, referring that
God is Love or  Love is God , and you've been like 'that’s cool, I guess,' and then went back to your daily living without any change happening. She carries through her optimism, following the peace of Almighty into herself where the prayer through poetry is rowed to communication as a base of heavenly feeling for solution of pain through poetry. Thus , we may add,

'Prayer, you are the messenger of man
To send the words of heart to the Almighty.
You draw peace and bliss on the mind's canvas in the hot sun.
You bring the silvery sweet moonlight on the earth of mind gently
So that man can be baby
Whose mind is like a white paper.
You are the medium of communication between a man and the Creator.
You inspire to lead a new life, man gets heavenly feeling and serenity.
When the problem-flies fly
In the life-sky,
If he comes to you, he gets the solution from the Almighty.'7

       Purely speakig, Tran Thi  Lan Anh postulates,
it almost seems like mtalking about our spiritual nature never goes anywhere, and, the conversations don’t actually translate practically to the problems we face in our day-to-day lives; and, finally, we can finally make the bridge between ‘Love is Eternal’ and ‘I need to pay my bills’. She goldified with the tears, by gentlifying with dawn and night, as well as bitterness and sweetness where embracement is attached to weariness and joyance. Thus, she writes,

'Love is not just gold and gray
nor only tears that fall away.
It is the storm aand gentle light,
the dawn that follows darkest night.

At times as sweet as aged wine,
at times so bitter hard to de done.
A smile may hide a silent cry,
two hearts close- yet drifting by.

To love is to embrace it all,
both rise and break, both stand and fall.
To hold through weariness and pain,
knowing no joy will stay the same.'8

      Philosophically speaking, Tran Thi Anh has an apparent, by taking love through calmness and brightfulness, lingering with moments like brightful night, where the root of feeling is  strengthened with the touch of soul by carrying the choosing  significance of dark and     through love. Thus, she writes,
' If love were only calm and bright,
it would not linger through the night.
It's through the scars, the ache , we keep,
that love is rooted , strong and deep.

Pain shapes the soul, makes hearts fleet true,
beauty is what carries us through.
Through loss and gain through dark and light,

love still remains- choosing to fight.'9

     Openly speaking, she , the great poetess assures, love must be a feeling of intimacy, wholeness, fulfillment, or fun,  and , it doesn’t really matter; and, behind the desire is a feeling. Moreover, it’s important to understand that the essence of what we really want is a feeling. She has the clear brittling through the binding the soul's significance through wisdom with heart's stirring; and, she accepts in his heart, the philosophical longing by the profounding area with walking himself or herself beside love.Thus,  we may add,

'Love walks beside the brittle thread of time
Binding the soul to earth and sky alike
By passing days, it teaches us to see
A buried light that flickers in the dark.
No empire stands untouched by acts of care,
No wisdom grows unless the heart is stirred.

The world is wide, yet love becomes our home,
A shelter is shaped by kindness, trust and grace,
Philosophy begins where longing lives
Caring hand holds truth that lie in love
The profounder lessen e. ngraved in modern clay
Is this: that love outlasts the dust of kings.'10

       Referring love's significance and importance, it's to say by paralelling with the thought of Tran Thi Lan Anh that love is accepted by the endurance of silence and whispering, and also love goes through shadow and shining.
Thus. it may be added
'It bends the will yet studies broken hearts,
It teaches patience when the storm shouts,
The river runs , the mountain burns with fire
Yet love endures beyond all clashing worlds.
In silence too, it speaks- a gentle call,
Whispers to us that life exceeds mere breath.

It is the tie that joins the  seen, unseen ,
The fragile thread that joins stars in place ,
So let us learn from love , the eternal guide ,
It embrace warms every path along
Through sorrow comes and shadows veil the sky,
Love teaches us to rise- and still to shine.'11

   Consequently speaking, the acknowledged poetess, Tran Thi Lan Anh  comes under implication in such a way that the form is the wrapper we put around body, and, it only shows us how we decided how it needs to come into being. She feels and obseves,
'After all, the joy and joy,
Love is who with us remains ,
No need for splendor , vast or grand,
Just a place- and holding hand.'12

           Above all, Tran Thi Lan Anh's poetry carries evotional metaphysi cs, following novelty of love  philosophy, psychology and mentral hovering and consciousness are itetated about.
