ROLE PLAYING~by Saroj Padhi

 

 

ROLE PLAYING

Thoughts squat down on mind’s uneven floor
Like a disciplined baby in mode of prayer,
When noises of pain slowly die down
Into silent breathings of a long, lonely night
Drowning the self into the abyss of darkness
Where from under heaps of dead memories
Words surge up with a new light ;

Making things clearer as the night deepens into a dawn:

What were those stories of snatching, robbing, lying, vying
Flirting, flaunting, fleeing and famishing going on ?–
If not violent bubbles of an outer life
Temporarily breaking into cackles of a new morn !
And we as shadows of an unseen eternity
Merely playing our part in God’s sprawling vast lawn !
