Oyster Life Poem by Sudipta Biswas

Now, in this beautiful world
We'll live an oyster-life.

I'll hover throughout the night
Keeping my palm on your palm
Giving up all calculations
With leaf and with star
We'll live an oyster-life.

Pearl like white foam will condense.
Bright day will come out from the mist
Suddenly, getting a single penny or two
Poor children will present us a bright smile.
Now, we'll live a bright oyster-life.

In the clear sky of the mountain
Very bright stars will come out.
Not with flowers,
But by collecting leaves from the ground
We'll pray to the jungle goddess.
We'll live a sacred oyster-life.

A red rose is blooming in the garden
Other trees, clapping their leaves,
Congratulating her…. Now, please come,
We'll live a rosy oyster-life.

If anybody recognize us,
I'll present him a flower from my poetry books.
Oh! Look at the sun-yolk in the eastern sky.
With the sacred Gayatri-mantra
Now, let us live a holy oyster-life.

In this winter, not with any poppy leaf or rose
I'll hibernate with you, only with you, butterfly.
Now, let us live a drowsy oyster-life.

Two lives will unite into one
In the tranquil moonlit night
We'll fly in the sky, where
The moon and clod will fight.
Let a bird build her nest
Let a bee build a hive
Let us dissolve all disputes
Let us live an oyster-life......
