A hearty elation sets in br At the sight of a terminal sunset br That shines like the glaze br Of a live-pyre across the river. br br I am thrilled all over br By the cool breath br Of a clear and present ecstasy, br Never felt before. br br I am hardly curious br And never nervous br About the temporary flickers br Of a cluster of glow-worms br Intermittently winking br Around the village cemetery. br br No more I scream br At the sight of a coffin br Full of unshed tears br And abstract remains br Of my premature dreams br Awaiting a quite burial. br br Through the smoke-curtain br Of a leafless autumn twilight br I distinctly visualize in the remote sky br An orphaned-star br Pining for the warmth and security br Of a mother’s womb.br br R.
