One blade of fresh green
- touched lightly by the morning breeze
Trying to stay straight
but kept bending down

The weight on it is slight
- of a single dew drop
But the light of the sun on it
- was bright enough to weigh it down.

Ekti daak
- aaj o baaje taar kaane

Kotodin hoye geche

Muche dite chaye.

Boddo chokhe jol bhore.

Sheyi ador jhore pora daak

In Search

A tear
- when leaves a lash
- and goes forth
Finds a lot of places to rest.

Sometimes
- the back of an impatient hand
Sometimes
- the gentleness of a caring finger

Sometimes
- the vastness of a broken cheek
Sometimes
- disappears in the folds of clothes

Sometimes
- from a bent head
on to a feet
Sometimes
- gets soaked by the ground

A tear.
Makes a varied journey
- numerous times.

But never finds
- that resting place it has always wanted.

A heart.
A loving heart.

Never give up on Life

This one is for you dear Joyee.
May you always stay well & happy. :-)

Life is like a mountain stream.
- flowing very fast, very strong.
And living it is a constant struggle upstream.

You want to or not ... doesn't matter.
You will have to wade on.

Fighting against the strong current
- the ups and downs
- bottomless hellholes.

You will have to move on.

There will be an occassional branch of support
- within your reach
And you might hold on to it.

But it will give away ... eventually.

You can never hold on to anything forever
- even the closest will let you down.

Yet
- you will have to go on.

Giving up is not done.

When the force overwhelms
- be a rock and stay still.
Doesn't matter for how long.

Let the current flow away ... even if it does over you.

And then stand up again.
And keep going
- upstream.
