My Birthday Poem by Rajendra padhi

BIRTH DAY

It was winter
Bore my shape
In a late morn,
Now it is distant
But glistens,
Lonely I grow
Though in crowd
As my own,
Smiles lightly fade
Tears waste time,
I escape to sun
Feel its light,
Sick for moon
Wait by wind
Cool as rivers
Speak soul out,
Listen to hearts
Endure words
But stand still
Like trees
Out grows me
Opaquely,
Leaves fall
Eyes blur,
An old piano
Hard to play,
I know I wean
Wander farther
Skywards,
Still I thank God
Else never knew Him
Never knew Earth
My sweet Home,
Never knew Man
So good in words,
Still I am running
Somewhere,
I gaze fondly
The distance covered,
Faster to reach
A destiny foretold.
