Earth Day Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

Stars are too far
To reach this night
But a simple try of climbing
By holding its ray of light
Falls straight on me
As a spear to penetrate
My temporariness

No other way
To climb that height
Through space to me

But stars I decided
To catch at least
One of its surface
To stand by feet strong

And stars
Not any other parapet
Of any of my love
Mind burns
Mind burns
Mind burns

Not there I want to reach
This night
Strictly for the stars
To climb
To climb
To climb
Inside its dark!
