Is Silence The Answer Poem by Ramakrushna Sahu

Whom to call to make a sketch
Of my face I have not seen yet?
Is there anyone behind the screen
Outside the shield auditorium
Or beyond the boarder
Where I can't reach?

Anything too much is tiring
Running on the circular track
Nonstop for day and night,
Is there anyone to show me
The way to step out the circle?

Whom to call and how to know
What is what and how long
and how far
And why and for what?
Except silence answer comes
from nowhere.

I am tired not only of my being
Of my flesh and blood and bones
Of my search and query
Of my fall and rise
and trial and effort,
How long can I dance and sing
Though audiences are asleep
Already tired of enjoying?

No one comes forward
Except silence to answer my call
To pinch me not to ask but to be
Is then silence the only answer?
