A Question Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

A Question
-

Yet some Questions meet a fate of muteness.

One Hundred Thousands Questions
Still wait
in One Hundred Lives.

Why it does?

This life is indifferent
Yet a Question spawns one more Question
Does all of them get an answer?
How many finds an echo from Heart?

Alas! Yet thoughts revolve in our mind.
Why?
Why we paint on the canvas of mind?
And we think, we have found all the answers.

Alas! How many of them get an echo from Heart?

Isn't for so, we have to come back again
Again and again
The rustle inside wind murmurs
What is that Lyric?
And the Music?
Why? Why it is so?
The music always the same
Unaltered the song
Inside an unchanging spirit?
