Sunrise! Poem by Ankur Beohar

I am waiting for something,
perhaps for the next sunrise
Or maybe for an event more enchanting
'a smile in your eyes'.

The freedom to be
Beyond your own destiny
accepting the change of time
beyond the livid obstinate clime

Even if there ain't much I can do
to bring to you this certitude
I will pave the way as you seek
Life beyond the uninspired meek

There would be trumpets that would play
Dancing people who would sway
So much as the time unfolds
and the resistance within you corrodes

I am still waiting for the the streams to turn
in the direction of the luminous sun
As they challenge the rocks on their path
uncaring of the horrific aftermath

Because in them there is this invisible force
That gives them strength to not change course
In their bliss they would rise
And bring a smile to your eyes!
