Till Infinity Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

How long will I be there?
Better you learn to grow up
And attend to the daily chores
Without my support.

To this poser
My little child
Who in an early phase of his life
Having seen blooming of life
And also the saddest moments
For certain losses,
With a glitter in his eyes-
As if he was the one
Who had seen the past and future
Replied 'infinity ' without any pause.

The answer left me
Non-plussed-
I will be there
Like I am here.

And the prompts came from within-
There is a lot of me in him.
Both would exist together
Like I'm an aggregate
Of all my forefathers
Who dropped their forms
And now constitute my subconscious.
