Journey Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

I have discovered the life’s speed
Watching the foaming waterfalls plummet,
Through the rocky path into the valley
Towards the sea endless.

Here is the boat I prepared for us
To cross the river of dew;
I carved a stone temple in air
For you to come and occupy the altar!

I have laid my dreams
Inside the womb of a shell,
Protected under the sea fathomless
Unmindful of the cruel waves
Or the sand dunes of the shore
And guarding your path since then!

Like the silk hiding its strength
My love lies in its softness;
You’ve entered deep in my heart;
Inside your image is well ensconced.
You are like a waterfall gracious
Eroding the unforgiving nature of hills.

Without melting in your embrace
I’ve experienced love at your sight
Waited and waiting for you to join
In this long journey of life!
