Fog And The Flute Poem by Dattatreya Dash

You came like a gust of cold breeze.
Through the fog outside
I could hardly see you
still I felt in my heart
your shadowy presence.

The fog gave a
beatific smile.

The promises you made
told me to
move forward,
Your silence made me
stand still.

The light - that flickered
through the mist
shrouded around me -
told me
to tell - to speak.
The darkness that
still prevailed in
dawn's kingdom
told me,
to lament - to cry.

I stood still.

To ask - to tell
To cry - to lament.
The mist started melting.
The darkness started ‘dying'.

With tears in my eyes
I rushed
as I had been longing for ages.
And I found you -
Inside the heart of
A fresh sparkling
drop of Dew.

Speechless was I,
For I wanted to forget
The speech
Forever.
