Door of Paper, Essays & Memoirs,
By Jayanta Mahapatra
Is not a work in prose,
But in lucid prose,
Failing even his poetry
What he has written so far.
Published in 2007, Door of Paper is
Just a collection of his papers,
Essays, memoirs and random reflections,
Reviews and opinions
Which he has from time to time.
He is a poet of the door of dreams,
Visionary and gliding
With time,
The silence of time
And the landscape.
Sitting by the door,
He dwells far,
Delves deep into
Thinking of life and times,
The history and origin of the world,
Where does light come flashing upon,
Breaking forth at with the chirping sparrows?
What he is not in his poetry, he is here in
This is volume of essays,
Random jottings and explanations,
Even quoting his poems to explain
And show,
How the poems relate
To the door imagery.

I would like to translate this poem
A very pretty poem with a pretty theme. Thanks.
