Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Dramatic Monologue

A Stranger Came From Nowhere

In the fading gleam enveloping the twilight hour, 
the frail edge of lives tended to lose mortal definition, 
its meaning masked by the murk of futile existence,
the misty minds sought the glow of the rainbow aura. 

A thirsty pilgrim in the relentless pursuit of mirage, 
travelled tormented  in the wilderness of the desert  
to the parched precincts of the dried up earthly souls, 
searching for the benign gift from behind the cloud. 

On garden path paved by precious stones of their faith, 
fragrance of blooming blessings wafted in the dusty air, 
the unsatiated mortal souls yearned to comprehend
the euphoric perception configuring  the bliss illumined. 

Sitting outside the door of the temple a hungry man 
seemed to have surrendered the rest of his time to fate, 
got some food from a stranger coming from nowhere, 
his eyes glinted joy in the rays of the sun that rose for him.
