207. Wayfarer Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

With the thought
To solve the riddle of life,
Crammed in my brain,
I was wandering
Along an unknown road
In the afternoon of a summer
Like a thirsty wayfarer in the sands.

I saw few crows
Crowing and flying
Around me.
Their eyes were telling me
They were
Very thirsty and hungry
Just like me.

I knew myself
As a man fully different
From others.
No one can resemble me
But I found a strange similarity
between the crows
And myself.

I walked a long path
Unknown to me.
Now I am tired and hungry
Just like the crows
Flying around me.
Perhapsto suppress their hunger
I won't be able to return home.
