A New Sky... Poem by Dr. Baishali Bhaumik Mitra

I wish to perceive one more sky behind this,
vaster and more crystal clear,
a sapphire dome with soft cotton clouds,
with a breeze, innocent as it never will be,
with a light, like white sand, as it never was;
as if a heaven unfastened!
Under this new sky
I will come and merge with your silence;
a silence that is so remote and palpable.
I will fill that silence
with the echo of my being
and murmurs of my soul;
without speaking any language,
in this absolute quietude
we will be fused in each other…
