Sudipta Mishra, Bhubaneswar, 10 December 2022
Every day, I glow in the flare of love
Don’t know how much I miss you
Knowingly I pass through the memory lane
To trace the pages of a failed tale.
If I had a time machine to flip this time
I would be the merriest one
By sinking into the lowest end of my life
I chose to be cruel to humans.
Now, weary at the point this lone state
I embrace the entire human race
Also, I can sense the thirst in my spirit
For nurturing the nature with care.
In such a languishing form, let me gain peace
From the murmurs of my past guilt.
To heal my withered heart with kind wings
I’ll traverse the trails of compassion only!!!
