Sojourn(Revised) Poem by Rajkumar Mukherjee

Sojourn(revised)






I looked for you upon the



seas



in mountains and forests



temples mosques and churches





carefully



avoiding crowds



busy streets and by-lanes



searching



for solace



peace of



mind in loneliness



aloof



from joys and cares of life







tired of my



sojourn



returned



to find you in my cottage



by the earthen lamp



in my heart







smiling mischievously





at my foolish efforts

.
