At The Coronation Poem by Pradip Saikia

That is the Alakananda
Misty celestial fountain
Coming down from the womb of
A sacred conch

You played the flute
At the coronation
Under a misty fountain

Even today also
At the precincts of the fragrant lake
Shower of flowers
Of that mesmerising night

The stars dropped down
Taking hymn of songs in their lap

In which scenery the flying wings are stationary
The sea is silent
The candle pendulum still

Flickering light in the horizon

Was I afloat
In the web of fascinating moonlight
In the water balloon
In the breathe blocking storm
In the roaring emptiness
