Rebirth
A hearty elation sets in
At the sight of a terminal sunset
That shines like the glaze
Of a live-pyre across the river.
I am thrilled all over
By the cool breath
Of a clear and present ecstasy,
Never felt before.
I am hardly curious
And never nervous
About the temporary flickers
Of a cluster of glow-worms
Intermittently winking
Around the village cemetery.
No more I scream
At the sight of a coffin
Full of unshed tears
And abstract remains
Of my premature dreams
Awaiting a quite burial.
Through the smoke-curtain
Of a leafless autumn twilight
I distinctly visualize in the remote sky
An orphaned-star
Pining for the warmth and security
Of a mother’s womb.
