New Life Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

All my desires and my songs
Get mixed today in the waves of the breeze.
Like a sea in turmoil
It rises to touch the sky at horizon
In a unique exchange of feelings.

The weariness of walking alone
In the lonely hours of dark nights
Are not there today.
I can walk now many miles
Even in those dense forests
Because you’ve become my mate.

The dews are on the grass,
The scent of flower wafting in,
The scare that night becomes day,
The eager moments of the dusk;
All bring golden rays of life
Through the gateway of love.

Let us care for the shell
Which lie scattered on the shore.
You’ll touch them with your tender hand
And it would move to the sea
With a new life for hibernation.
