Palm of Morning

In our world plenty of light has got brutally put out
 
In our faces a lot of orange leaves no more sprout
 
In your sorrow just  hollow floral bunch I hand out
 
The dark shadow of Erebus becoming more stout
 
Prayer for concord are burnt out and hospitalized
 
 
 
Had there been around today the famous Orpheus
 
In our tongue and lips and the restive unconscious
 
Had there been some scraps of broken lyre wires
 
Our music could have somewhat cured our distrust
 
Escalating with the universe in its space and time
 
 
 
With your lyre as you would walk the paths of pain
 
Like the mother of night the stars in a sweet strain
 
Like the palm of morning a harmony would contain
 
All the lions and tigers that we nurture in our brain
 
And they would all act like their blond and mild fur



 This very Orpheus however got wobbly and fragile
 
As his partner Eurydice he looked back at to fondle
 
She vanished in the air leaving a pain and puzzle
 
Gloomy and vagabond he was slain by a scoundrel
      
Though eminent our cognitive poise we mustn’t lose

Your profound ability to transcend our mind and heart is a rare gift, Probir. This poem reflects that self-evident truth. Your use of language w/wisdom and compassion is always enjoyed by my eyes. A feast of love's abundance in a cruel world of famine thoughts is a blessing bestowed upon your flowering pen, my dear friend. A great poem capably written my your florid pen. Pure twin sun poetry. Love and smiles always.

When the poet in the judge's chair sees eye to eye with a poet, it is of course a moment of delight for the latter ... Thank you so much ...
