Ill At Ease Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

Faux pas
Flash in the pan
Do you call it?
He puts in dreams
In sky
In land
In water
Mesmerizing them come together
Into shedding lethargy
As trinket of complacency
Stars-decked
Vault-faced like that of a diadem touching heaven
Appareled of pearls and corals and diamond
Enamored of rainbow's raiment and stately food
Often seen in God's kingdom
Jerked and thrown into topsy-turvy
Smacking of slipperiness
The world wakes up
And the sun catching cold in early summer
Tiger roars
Jackals howl
And crocodiles shed tears
Amidst flashes, chaos and dusts
While world looks on
Seeking tranquility like calm stars
