Poem : Umiam

Image
(A poem on Umiam Lake of Meghalaya ,India) Though today the sky is cloudy, Light and shadow softly play. Umiam ---- around you gathers A fair of trees in green array. A gentle breeze flows calm and sweet, Waves rise with a murmuring sound. My soul finds peace beholding you ---- As though someone lit joy all around. At the call of birds, My heart longs to drift away. My eyes are filled with your beauty --- I wish to return someday. O Umiam , O Umiam I wish to come again someday. -------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

Poetry : Creation

(This is the english version of my  bengali poetry  'Sristy'.




The seed kissed the soil
and whispered, "Will you love me a little?"

The earth said to the sky ------
" Drench me a bit,
Let me turn muddy with joy
So I may embrace the seed ."

The sky called upon the clouds.
A gentle rain arrived.
The seed said to the Sun
" Grant me a little light."
The Sun replied, " So be it  !"

In the warmth of embrace
and the love of oxygen,
the seed, intoxicated with joy,
dreamed of creation in golden light.
From the seed emerged
a tender green sprout.
