AwakeningA Poem by DeepayanI have
opened my eyes in the middle of the night. My dusky
visions have made me a cripple in the hand of light. I found my
way beside the shaded lamps. I followed
the footprints of my dizzy memories. I found my
way to the window side. I can now
see the beckoning stars. The sky has
cascaded into the blue eternity. The husky
smile of the drowning moon, shall write a ballad in the clouds. I shall
observe with helpless hands, the ending sand of time. Now I know
the unspoken verses of the stars. Now I know
the silent whispers of the winds that our lives have lost its youth like this
aged earth. If all the
leaves withers from the tree of life, I will stay
awake forever. © 2012 Deepayan |
