I Do Not Want To Die Old Poem by Prabir Gayen

- I do not want to die old -

I do not want to die old....
Nor do I live to chew the dust of time,
The throbbing urge in the vein of mine will not revive thespring,
The warmth of adolescent wind and
The Sun that shonewith it'sfragrance
Upon the lone field,
The wind that blew with gushing sound at daybreak,
and the birds that twittered on the grassy bower with the delight of being,
The dream that winged chariot to meet the rainbow over the horizon declined.
Death is ingrained and the seed of time is lost,
Upon the field with raw odour that nurtured the dream unfulfilled
Will I lie to wave my breath into the womb of the Native spirit.
