Thirst Poem by Indranil Bit

Thirst

Rating: 5.0


A bird so small, that’s what I am;
Name me puny, that’s all I have;
My feeble wings are all in all;
To encourage me at every fall.

Perching atop the casuarinas tall;
My heart listens the wood’s call;
Festooned lands with whelming fall;
I am born to conquer ‘em all.

Reverie of thought swims my mind;
I will carry but reminiscence so kind;
The land to espouse me as a child;
Time calls upon me to part and quest.

Smell of maple from distant land;
Streams in like phantom sand;
Mary’s Ville allures me in;
Lutheran confessions rule my dreams.

Name me puny, that’s all I have;
But adorned dreams are all I have;
After the leap in Mary’s lap
Will shake all leaves of maple cap.
