DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK - Resurgence

Resurgence
- - - - - - -
Survives now only one
Where living happily
Dwellers once were seen
All old familiar faces vanish
So do all old familiar places,
Temples and grand palaces
Short-lived are joys like the flash
Fleeting is life as the mists
Unto dust all towers and walls fall
At time's fateful call
All will get swept away
As dice with helpless mortals play
A long adieu!
To mother earth
To water my life
To wind my sire
To Robin my friend
Oh, my soul wants them again
Break chains to them gain
By merging in that sweet heaven
That all sustains
The Sun's sunbeams
The Moon's soft beams
And stars' gleam
And the grassy wood's dreams
They will come alive once again
In splendour with the touch of her fingers
Greater than before only with poetry sheen
