Now, in this beautiful world <br />We’ll live an oyster-life. <br /> <br />I’ll hover throughout the night <br />Keeping my palm on your palm <br />Giving up all calculations <br />With leaf and with star <br />We’ll live an oyster-life. <br /> <br />Pearl like white foam will condense. <br />Bright day will come out from the mist <br />Suddenly, getting a single penny or two <br />Poor children will present us a bright smile. <br />Now, we’ll live a bright oyster-life. <br /> <br />In the clear sky of the mountain <br />Very bright stars will come out. <br />Not with flowers, <br />But by collecting leaves from the ground <br />We’ll pray to the jungle goddess. <br />We’ll live a sacred oyster-life. <br /> <br />A red rose is blooming in the garden <br />Other trees, clapping their leaves, <br />Congratulating her…. Now, please come, <br />We’ll live a rosy oyster-life. <br /> <br />If anybody recognize us, <br />I’ll present him a flower from my poetry books. <br />Oh! Look at the sun-yolk in the eastern sky. <br />With the sacred Gayatri-mantra <br />Now, let us live a holy oyster-life. <br /> <br />This winter, not with any poppy leaf or rose <br />I’ll hibernate with you, only with you, butterfly. <br />Now, let us live a drowsy oyster-life. <br /> <br />Two lives will unite into one <br />In the tranquil moonlit night <br />We’ll fly in the sky, where <br />The moon and clod will fight. <br />Let a bird build her nest <br />Let a bee build a hive <br />Let us dissolve all disputes <br />Let us live an oyster-life......<br /><br />Sudipta Biswas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oyster-life/
