The Song Poem by Ramakrushna Sahu

Though you couldn't hear me
Here and now
Neither in the past
Nor even in the future
Yet I am there all along
As that sweet song unheard
Produced by the throbbing
of your heart
By the flowing of your blood
By your respiration while asleep
Yet unaware

I was there when time was not
And will be there
When things will be not
I am the very cause of existence
Where nothingness is simply a not.

Look at me, I am there where
The earth and sky meet each other
Where light and darkness
Are in the embrace of each other,
I am there
In the dancing leaves of the grass
In the blinking eyelids
of a dumb girl
In the whispering silence of the sky

Have you ever heard your silence
Composing a new song
At the time of your death?
Yes, I am there
I am always there.
