Sleep Poem by Saroj Padhi

My secret concubine, my second nature-
Creeping in between conscious acts, a wish clandestine
A drug induced dream that captures images of happiness
From cleavages of hills, lousy river banks and forest alpine;

I have no words to praise you dear friend divine
For the bliss you bring, for joys cast by your spell
The beauty of the world born out of your closing eyes
Where imagination like zillion rainbows does swell;

Life waits for a meaningful silence at the end of day
Where thoughts of everyday world die for a while
A rebirth for life and for acts and thoughts, a replay
Readying body and mind with zest to tread new mile;

Beauty of life at rest like wet cloud set on mountain breast
Without you we're a bundle of unrest,a pile of big waste!
