Chittaranjan Dash, Delhi, 7 January 2024
To the eyes buried in snow
To the soul left in red hot cinders
Bring on the universal recipe of a joker
Let the truth of winter be told
Loudly from luscious lips of the spring
Let autumn be an ode to the youth
Wake up the slumbering dreams
They have to run for their cover
For a dark cloud comes with a humongous hunger
Give food to the hungry kitten
You can’t do bigger things in life
Look at the silent blind eyes of a statue
What revelations roll on ground
Atoms of dust beg for morsels of mercy
A nameless crow casts a giant shadow
