THE SONGS OF VOID (Extracts of a long poem of 90 pages published in 2008 , composed by Rajendra k. padhi) (1) O my dear! Nothing is gained Nothing is lost It was only a desert Gleaming like a paradise; We were strangers Our life was a mirage Now memory survives us Like a diamond Poisons our blood, O my dear! How we are ghosts of night! In the hunted castles of our life We are epitomized Of all illusory perceptions, Our all cries, all tears The puppet shows of youth Are now killer of this frosty night, And our smiles of endless dreams Is nothing but a lyre of void! O my dear ! The vanquishing shadows Are lost as lies The roses are oblivious Only a veil of misty haze When the blood dried at twilight, Now our eyes are black clouds Trapped in a haughty rain, When transmission fails Life fails to flow through us, The wrath of time continues Life is now a sweet reluctance Death is a feigned acceptance. O my dear ! One replaces the other Contributory rivers To the ocean of tears, Neither we feel alive nor dead Disquiet continues namelessly We are unkind and kind to us Neither have we existed in heaven Nor on earth, What remains is void. O my dear ! Stars are our muses Rivers inviolably sacred Sappy source of our love, They are our symbols We scan to settle there, They speak in silence Silence is beyond meaning Or multiple It sensitizes us With words audibly inaudible, They speak everything Again nothing, They cling our souls Sinking we swim around the stars Bleeding we flow in the rivers The ocean stretched infinite Infinite is the sky! The sons of void cries God turns to tears A black magic of tears To seize the lightening of the sky To seize the waves of confusion. O my dear! No where freedom blows How can we escape from law? We are also a law unto us, Celestial sanctity prevails When law is the wisdom When it is the veiless beauty When it is the effulgent light of truth We hear a call from blue Worthy of a call to nightingale’s paradise We become visibly invisible like the wind Ever to flow, ever to sing muses Unbeaten by time.
