Out of Tears of Deep Blue Pain

Out of Tears of deep blue pain
(Ratri says)

The Sky is full of dark, black clouds.
Some days are for dreaming
A true day for spicy puffed rice.
A true day for a sleep under the quilt
Or,
A day for a try for a marvellous
draft of a fiction.
That day the cloud of dream softly touches
Somewhere farther beyond sadness
The wishful thinking unfolds
With the pen and ink
For a new iteration of an already
finished writing , a fountain pen completed
a long time ago.

“You will find some old writings of him, here”, She said
“Thoughts of a scholar who never got second. His thoughts
and opinions and his wisdom about religion. Please take it
If you need it for your research work.”, His wife said.

I was smiling, almost unknowingly.
The newspaper column got Niladri published yesterday.
He attacked not only religion there, 
but also the very core definition of religion.

I feel anxious for him, tremendously anxious. 
And at the same time,
I feel , the truth visualized by this scholar and 
the truth seen by Niladri are
fairly distant and polarized 
in almost a suicidal way 
harming the inner peace. 
Will a person like me sustain there, at all ?
But I can always try, there is no harm in it!
