'Thank You, Friend! ' Poem by ANJANDEV ROY

In the silent night
The great stranger came in my sleepy realm,
He stared at me for a long time
With great love and affection,
Finally he whispered to me,
'Thank you, Friend! '
Thereafter he disappeared soon,
But his gentle words became firmly ingrained in my mind,
I tried to find out his real identity,
As I pondered deeply,
I found a mysterious shadow in my mind's eye,
He had a bright candle in his hand,
And the candle light was extending
Farther and farther in search of the newest and finest path
In the midst of this mundane world.
