Under Thy Shadow - 01 Poem by Subhas Chandra Chakra

Under Thy Shadow - 01

Rating: 5.0


Under whose shade

My playful childhood

Listened the lullabies of love

The Alice in me

Entered the tender wonderland

And slept a blissful and dreamy

Summer afternoon?

It was you, my mother-

Who shaped my cries into ambitions

And tears into laughter

In the following days, months and years.

Under your love and care

The great Banyan of blessings

Over my sweating adolescence

My nascent aspirations

Took a turn into the buds

Of the garden of achievements

Over a few years of teenage.

And you made me resonate

To the tunes of my clan,

To the music of my people,

To the beats of my land,

And become a real hero

A real young man.
