To You Life: Forever!

By Pranab Ghosh

…
And…
They flew across the
Horizon
One
After
The
Other

Life’s formation
In death…

Balaka*?
Pankouri*?
Or
…
Some unknown birds…
A ‘kind’ not known
To you and me?
To...?
…
Life
Lost
In
Transit
…
Life departing
To life…!
…
Only the form,
But not the
content changed!

Forever!!!

Author’s note: *Bengali names of different kinds of birds. Balaka is also the title of a book of poems by Tagore.
