They Are Not A Ward-Off Signal Poem by Sarojkanta Dash

They Are Not A Ward-Off Signal

In thAre tears not the dewy mirrors
Of a tender Heart?
Are they not the divine essence?
The holiest of holy things?

May I, with my lashes,
Open the shrine of tears you store?
Treasures of a heart, so rare and divine,
Tokens of compassion, in each Rudraksha they confine.
