# Sri Ramakrishna Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

JUST like a lamp ignites a hundred stars
Even if all may die in silence one day
Inside such a prayer
That is why, My Lord!
The sole lamp inside
Thou have ignited within my heart!
In naked dance hilarious!
Inside may melt a song so sublime
In one such unworldly love
How can Thou doth to me?
O My Lord!

O Divine!
Teach me only that sublime
Haven’t Thou seen so much?
Yet laughed a much more
That honeyed laugh
Yet still fragrant inside a careless wind
When an evening may descend in a speechless sublime
Inside our unconscious minds!

Even if it is now
Shall I not know?
That all these flowers bloom only by Thine Touch
The waves so insipid dance only in Thine Whisper
Yet Thou may hide like a child's play
May I not hear?
Thy Footsteps knocking the depth of this nigh
Like her bee in joy murmurs!
