In the silent dusk of river lachit.. <br /> <br />Tearful eyes and twisted thoughts of mine, <br />were vanishing in downstream slowly.. <br />An untuned whistling of the boatman nearby, <br />Suddenly breaks my moment of melancholy.. <br />Peoples were returning home by the boat.. <br />They have no fear of waves covering.. <br />All of them enjoying the part of their life.. <br />With the sails dancing and waving.. <br /> <br />In the paddy fields of my hometown.. <br /> <br />I always found you in smell of the earth.. <br />In the wind passing through me everyday.. <br />When I lost myself in the chirpings of birds.. <br />I love to run and follow them everyday.. <br />Whenever I fall if you are not there to hold me <br />Songs of farmers inspires to rejoice my life.. <br />Fireflies in the field light up a spark into me.. <br />To live happily through the dark side of life.. <br /> <br />In the city at the crossroads.. <br /> <br />random chattering and gathering of unknowns.. <br />over the U-turn bridge I am still waiting.. <br />with burning Unspoken phrases through joints.. <br />and the smokes rolling down by the railings.. <br />the gang of children from slums of the city.. <br />Asking for a penny holding their stomach.. <br />A fake line of starve I can see on few of them.. <br />A true innocent love budding through eyes.. <br />The girl with bunch of roses and sweet smile... <br />She brought from her garden to sell all of them <br /> <br />(Place: Guwahati, Assam)<br /><br />Pranjal Kalita<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silver-linings-of-life/
