Where Are You? Poem by NRUSINGHA MISHRA

I am longing for your manifestation in utter astonishment
Where are you hidden?
I am overwhelmed with this world harsh treatment
Where are you gone?

Are you hiding behind ocean waves and distant mountain receding figures?
Although feel the warmth of the bright sun
coolness of the moonlight lit blue sky
pleasant whisperings of the dazzling stars

My mind keeps flying to distant horizons to capture your vision
Restlessly moving here and there
to see if you are hiding behind big city mansions
Village green fields, grazing animals, bossomed flowers of magnificent colors


Various festivals, celebrations, merrymaking,
fun activities and human created splendors
With limited mind, body and intellect trying to measure the limtless
Journey continues till find from flower to flower in search of nectar like a butterfly
