The Best Poem Of Arpan Ghosh

In Search Of Heaven

'i followed your foot-steps my Lord,
from the mountains through the woods to the seas.
and where is it that you have led me to dear Lord?
it is the land with no sun, the land of perpetual night,
it is the land of the dead with no faintest sign of life.
is this for what i followed you, my Lord?
is it not the road to the heaven that you shall show?
have i been betrayed by your idols, books and your divine glow? '

THE LORD ANSWERS WITH A SMILE
'behold the faith in your heart o human,
for you yet have to understand my words.

so, i speak again, listen with your heart.

promise of heaven is what i never made,
neither i said its a beautiful place.
this is the land what i promised for.
this is the land of pain.
but where is the love that i told you to bring?
where is the sympathy, the care i told you to carry?
search your bags, find them and bring them out.
spread and share them over this cursed land,
empty your bag o human.
then shall you see the sun, the life,
and the birth of a heaven right in front of your own eyes.

i own no heaven o human,
its on you to create.
build it big, so big that i too can live,
not in your temples and books,
but in your hearts,
build it so big, that no longer you belong to me,
but i become your integral part.'
