Quest
BROKEN GLASS Parimal Kumar Das.
Away from the cacophony
Beyond the wires barbed
Over the high walls arrogant
Across the fields empty
Through the woods green
I stride fast to reach there
Where the sky bows gleefully
Where the birds sing fearlessly
Where the hornets buzz playfully
Where promises had been made.
I stop to find you among the daisies
Dear me! Here lies before me a wasteland
Leading to a mystic dusty path
Floating in the raft of south wind
Afar, sail those parched promises.
Wilting moments hide into darkness
Perhaps you have left in the last spring
When the branches bore red flame
Every flower spilled their sweet fragrance
A thousand new birds may have stopped by
And you chose to fly away with one of them.
