Stranger Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

Stranger

Rating: 5.0


I am too small than this universe
But the thinking is biggest than anything

I am not the poem or poetic utterance
I am not the art or the artistic canvas
I am too small
I'm walking on the lanes of the universe
Field after fields, season after seasons
I meet many strangers
Seeing, somewhere staring and passing

In the motherly care of different languages
I am a mute alien!
Like the flying birds, running calves, sportive puppies and kittens

Strangers coming by the course of time and passing
Once I asked one of them-
Where are you coming from? Where are you going?
No reply I got from the stranger and ask again-
who are you? What are your roots and summit of life?
No answer I got without beautiful smiling


Oh! Estranged I was there and felt a rejoinder -
Smiling is an answer of the stranger!

I permit in me
no need to find out the root of coming and going of any mankind
on this earth, everyone is a stranger and just needs good manners!

Strangers coming by the course of time and passing. Many come and go but the onlooker doesnt know where they come from and wher the go. I think it's a fyutile effort to know it. It is the way of life*****

Yes your words are really true. You have penned it explicitly. Every word carrys to the stupendous experience you have described. Beautiful poetry. Indeed even Anjandev Roy bring out such beautiful topics very beautifully.

We meet many people in our life....! We needn't know their personal whereabouts, but through a gentle smile or a sweet gesture, we can connect with them, though they may be total strangers. Beautifully penned, Mahtab!

On this Earth everyone is a stranger! We move in our own small circle, even when we desire to know someone it have to be a mutual understanding to know each other. Some people out right despise a casual friendly move- even a smile! So true!
