A Look -381 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK -381

When Your Lips Open

When your lips open,
petals of love unfold;
their fragrance drifts afar
touching every nook and corner.

When your lips open,
doors for the poor swing wide;
humanity finds its hope,
its ultimate saviour.

When your lips open,
tradition greets modernity;
side by side they stand,
each in its splendour.

When your lips open,
new vistas rise for the young;
earth and sky embrace the old,
a gift for every soul.

When your lips open,
beauty walks with elegance;
dignity walks with prudence,
each taking new form.

When your lips open,
the sky leans down to the earth,
the river runs to the ocean,
rewriting the lyric of love.

For me, it is a parade—
a march of grace and beauty,
unparalleled in the history of mankind;
the divine melody,
the voice of the queen of heaven on earth.

When your lips open,
life finds its meaning
its song,
its rhythm and rhyme,
its heart and soul
