A Journey
Pijush Kanti Deb *
Nothing is to be dropped a veil over
the infinite depth of our heart
millions of dropping in to it
seems to be a drop in the bucket.
Nevertheless, a journey is to be undertaken,
maybe, from a zero to an infinite,
in quest of necessity, comfort and luxury,
in guise of common devotees of
both God and Devil,
uttering the magical hymn ''Something More''.
In the vast course of journey--
plains, hills and mountains are trampled,
rivers, seas and oceans are steered
elephants and whales are made upside down,
ants and insects experience a combing search
by our hanging tongues,
the Hell and the Heaven are used in weight-lifting
on the signal of the rise and the set of the sun
with many beckoning hands and eyes
of the nearest and the dearest.
