Chittaranjan Dash, Delhi, 18 May 2025
If that child comes out of mirror
Don’t hesitate, don’t feel shy,
Don’t be surprised, don’t take offence-
Rather endearingly hold his hands,
Listen to his blabbering in a loving way,
Let his voice guide you there-
Where among the cacophony of grass,
Bees and butterflies jump around,
Birds chirp in a language of nature-
Sit down there with him to enjoy
In his company the simple things of life,
Passing of moments like songs.
