The Day After: Thanksgiving Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

Humbled by the felicitations
like the fragrant breeze
in a summer evening
I feel blessed
like the dancing leaves of neem tree
the mystery of life
is really infinite
which I had tried to access
from my tiny brain
many great minds
took lot of pain
in throwing light
on many facets of my poem
shall I not feel guilty
if I don't payback my thanks;
the reflex acknowledgment
from genius Robert Smith
the magnanimity of Deepak Pattanayak
the words of wisdom from Kumarmani Mahakul
the love of Prabhakar Srivastava
the best wishes from Pallab Chaudhury
the generosity of Anil Panda
the congratulations from James Mclain
the euphoric melodious words of Subhas Chakra
the effervescence of sweetness
embedded in the graceful words of Bharati Nayak
the motivating words from Christina Simmons
the nice and joyful words of Savita Tyagi
the mesmeric words from Rajnish Mangaji
the magical inspiration of Rini Jerry
the amazing lines from Jayatissa Liyanage
the kind words from Bernard F Asuncion
my thanks also to the numerous readers
not reflected in their comments
I feel blessed
with the interaction of my friends
who are the great warriors
exploring this mysterious life
through their elegant poetry.
