Welcome Song Poem by swatee sripada

Welcome Song



When I derelict myself

In a daze of roving about anonymous spaces

When I did not know, what I need and what I did not

When the heart faltered fumbling for words

Holding the oceans in a fist

Etching the fierce water falls of my thoughts

As words –consoling myself a bit

Putting off the conflagration that burns

Even the green corners of mind

With an endless flow of tears

And grew the gardens of images and feelings

Suddenly a beautiful fairy takes shape in my words.

Now and then

When I was dazed

I know not what I lost or what I am in search of

But at the bottom of Unseen Ocean I change myself

Into a joined hands

The bright light slips

Off the gaps of fingers

The dreams slither as sand

Now and then, the clouds while giving final changes

Greet me shyly

I vanish some where in my search.



A short apprehension

A commotion of entering myself into me

A heavy shower of memories

Just in a wink-

The footsteps of childhood

Remains of dreams of youth

And analysis of shattered affections

An everlasting chase, how can I bear?

How long can I translate silent tears?

And agonized floods into words?

How can I sing a welcome song to the silent vacuum?
