Aju Mukhopadhyay Poet Verse

Light of Lights

Light throbbing in the heart of darkness 
Shakes its density and solidity 
Dawn lengthening towards morning
Mops up darkness slowly
Shadows vanish
In its brightness  
It rubs them off the bodies 
Of men and furniture
Lion, camel, orangutan and tiger;
Light focused on cave 
Clears the obscurities  
Light of reason removes 
The stumbling blocks of superstition  
Light of knowledge conquers ignorance
Light of conscience deals with narrowness  
Pushing it towards broadness and righteousness 
Light broadens the narrow space of the heart
Leads it towards benevolence 
Pride and prejudice, niggardliness vanish  
With the white purity  
Of the effulgent Divine light 
The light of lights!  
It hovers round us
Flashes with higher consciousness 
In search of us groping in the dark
Near us comes it giving chance to embrace 
Sure it is that we move pulled towards it 
Let that light grace us towards fulfillment.
