Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Free verse

An Excavation

The sun-soaked meandering valley of my lucent life
Drained by the cadence of elated stream swirling
Around the cluster of glimmering gold nuggets
Carved out of life’s valued golden moments.

With the sailing sediments of euphoria dislodged
The sparkling pieces roll on the turbulent time
In the torrent of the cloud-burst falling sky
Flow to the flood plain of obscurity far.

In search of transported treasure trove eroded
Buried beneath the strata of stagnant time past
I wade through the marsh of submerged existence
Excavating the layers of memory in tranquil twilight.

In the light of the setting sun fading so fast
Each time the surged tide of turmoil ebbs out
I exhume the gems of memory from sands of time  
Retrieve the gilded instants I had once lived to adore.

Rama Balasubramanian June 30, 2021 at 7:10 AM We seldom think of positive aspects of past. If we thought of all good things that has happened to us life would be so joyous. Thought provoking write. All the best for contest
