A Game That Never Ends Poem by LALATENDU KABI

A GAME THAT NEVER ENDS

Having obtained
Sound fron ether, _(akasha)_
Touch from air,
Light from fire, .
Taste from Walter
And smell from soil,
You, male and female Being
Landeddown into the world,
As you carried along
Unbound hopes and uncountable alternatives,
And a basketful of dreams,
Charm in yourlips and wit of speech,
Bound in bond of Love.

Desirous of romance,
And averse to anguish of separation,
Ever sharing pleasure and pain,
You rowed your life boat in the flood of the world.

And in your journey you have confronted
Creations and Dissolutions
And the replacement of_Manus_

Also you have confronted in that darkness LIFE and DEATH at their eternal playfulness
Turn by turn, all day and all night without stop,
ONE taking the lead overTHE OTHER
As soon as ONE'S turn comes
(in that _antaaxaree_ game)
