Horizons Poem by Bhaswat Chakraborty
Horizons
Sun rolls down in dusky smoothness
Along the line of day and night
Silhouettes of life begin to caress
the body of darkness in search of light
The day spreads its glorious wisdom
For the sentient and rogue as well
Where is the gospel in night’s kingdom?
That is the lesson for learned to impel
Lo, Adam and Eve’s purity of hearts
Who yet not found the knowledge fruit
They know not the pain (that) identity imparts
They know not the twinge at ego’s root
Was that the horizon where prayers rose
Came to the fore the innocent love
The heavens, the gods and Adams and Eves
Bound in oneness with nothing above
Then the sphere of knowers drew
Closer to power, nearer to clouts
Man lost, (his) paradise didn’t accrue
Faith withered to shed cardinal doubts
The world of struggle, feat and defeat
The clutter of logic, ideas deadbeat
From that debris of disorder prime
Sprang but hope in mystic reason
The night and darkness found a home
“Accept the unknown” the soul sings on
The novel, the funny, the joyful risk
An adventured life – graceful, brisk
************Dedicated to the Teachers of Primary Schools*************
Very rhythmic. Nicely penned. A poem for a cause. Deserves 10+
The horizon is a place neither here nor there a line one cannot go over. day on one side night on the other. Mortaliy on one side and immortality on the other. Good things to think off here.
a perfect tribute to those primary teachers the founders of our childrens education -10 anjali
