Sudipta Mishra, Puri, 30 September 2023
Like a wheel turns,
Time never slips backward
It always blooms by looking forward.
Past is not to be shunned
Yet, you should be released
from the memories of yore
To embrace the grace of the future.
With the pleasures of spring
By playing on the flowery swings
I wait to conjure the pain of summer.
The outcomes are always not the same
Still, I soak with my beaten-core
while resting in the boughs
of rain-drenched wilderness.
With the flow of the seasons
Time transforms the civilization,
The ‘Wheel of Fortune’ spreads its wings
The wishes and desires are fulfilled!
The magic of life continues,
By immersing in this charismatic wonder
We merge in this endless process.
Also, forget the dead years
For moving with the golden steps into the laps of the future!
