Covid or the avatar of redemption - starting afresh

 
Is it the dawn approaching,

 or the day setting!

Is it the new beginning, 

or a beginning to an end is beginning?

as creation, within, without and all around, 

wakes up in destruction!

And bemused by this society’s dream of continuity, and preservation 

while it is lost in a chaos, 

I have been thinking -

- if Kalki, the Avatar of redemption, we have been waiting for the millennia, is already here, 

in the Trimurti incarnated[1]! [i]

Brahma, we were created
Vishnu, we were preserved
Shiva, WE destroyed!

Yes, we messed up big time, and now we need to fix it, 

or what about destroying it completely, and

starting anew, afresh, 

a Punaarambh, a new beginning! 

(Neera, 2014)


 In Indian mythology Trimurti is the combined three powers (in a cycle of Creation, Preservation, and Destruction) representing earth, water, and fire in the form of three gods, 
Brahma –creates, 
Vishnu- maintains- preserves 
Shiva- destroys.

 Fire destroys life, and is responsible for the destruction of the world. It is represented as Shiva, the destroyer, the annihilator of the universe. 

Are we waiting for an Avatar of Vishnu, to preserve us, Or is it Covid! The destroyer! 
Time and a need to ask for forgiveness, making amends
