Sudipta Mishra, Puri, 13 January 2024
I do not know the reason
I can only hear a voice inside me
My soul sings a poem, so pure
so melodic, stirring
A song that speaks the voice of silence
That ripples inside my chest
Sparkling ideas boil in my mind
I just form them and
I whisper them in the spiraling wind
For reaching out to you all.
I console and negotiate with words
My untamed mind always struggles
To express my conflicting feelings
Finally, words explore the game
In the game of intriguing thoughts,
I cajole my verses to note my expression!
Oh, then the weight of my memory
Finds a subtle way to release…
