SWAN IN LILY POND : Ranjit K. Sahu

 

Silently he glances at the lilies

Wading among the fresh livid flowers
Another season of wait and willies
Never ending lengthy summer warm hours

In his  songs  are filled tales of misfortune
No less tragic are his search for a mate
Looking at the flocks, calls with importune
Insisting on his  will to  beat his fate

Listen to his heart throbs in his soft song
Yearning over loss of his other half
Pity his body that he floats along
Over the still water that hardly laughs

No desperation is as deep as  his
Death does cause life to forgo normal biz


Charlottesville VA United States
