Yearning Of Two Embodied Souls Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

The lamp in the corner of the room
Left there by the priest
After the ceremonial performance
Is glowing with a vigour.
As the night matures,
All the objects inside
Look to be radiating with joy.

The friends and members of the family
After the untiring hard work of past few days
Have all gone silent,
As the events ended well.

Two embodied souls
Are up there together!
After being separated for ages.
They are discovering in each other
All the unknown facts of the bygone years
With unsuspected yearnings.

Two minds are singing
The songs of love and indulgence
In the same old language of the time,
When life came on to earth.
The unfulfilled and old desire
Has surfaced today
To the witness of this holy lamp.
