When You Light The Lamp Poem by Pratip Sen Gupta

When You Light The Lamp



When you light the lamp
I know the sun has set

Whether or not the sun will rise
For me
I do not know
Nor how long the lamp will burn

If the oil runs out
When I sleep
Let it be

I have lived in the sun
And I can go by the light
Of a lamp
That you lit
In the corner
Of my heart
