Jayshree Misra Tripathi Poems

I cannot do what I wish today-
Close my eyes, inhale and exhale,
And listen to the rustle of the leaves
Sway in the light breeze, in prelude to winter;
...

From a Ladies Coupe: Sambalpur Junction* to New Delhi
* Jharsuguda

The station master waved the green flag,
...

Growing older over sixty,
I yearn to relive
Snapshot Moments
Of Youth Unbound…..
...

And now, as the night hawk sounds our signal to begin,

I breathe in the dusk from the comfort of the easy chair
...

We travelled out of Keren
on the road towards the hills
where many brave soldiers lie,
some as young as sixteen.
...

She wore White.

In memory of Sibabrata 1955-2017
