Chittaranjan Dash, Delhi, 27 November 2022
Eyes snowing flakes of sorrow
Let me hold these pearls of existence
An ocean chest holds happiness
Every flow turns sweeter through time
Dark clouds make virgin fields fertile
Autumn is an exhibition of colours
Happy leaves in a centrifuge of wind
In my chest I treasure memories
And I touch it to feel charcoal clouds
Turn into dancing heads of grass
In one corner all things you bequeathed
Those letters like leaves of autumn
Cheerily greeting me to land of oblivion
A grand voyage where nothing lasts
A lonely boat disappearing in horizon
Its chest full of lonely people
Yet silently exulting at a setting sun
