For one last time
The living light has faded over the drowsy lake
Filling the sky with a tinge of brilliant cinnabar
And for one last time I have come to meet you
When the world embraces a routine slumber.
See me till your heart brims with content
Hold me till the causeway fires up the night sky
For the profound oneness binding us together
Will cease forever when the dawn comes by
The sun will be up in a splendour to behold
And the spring back with its vigorous bloom
But, that was unspoken will linger within
The sentient tenderness buried till doom.
Feel me when the waves wash the lighthouse
Hear me in the scarlet tanager’s chime
I loved you more than anything else
I pronounce to you for one last time.
Jibendu Narayan Mazumder
