Tribute

Dear Tagore,

In you I have found a friend through times thick and thin. Today as I write the song which helped my boat to sail through many a storm, I find myself at a little corner of the magnanimity which belongs to you. You have taught me to smile and teach the world, to take less and to give more. You were a giver. Through these words that you once wrote, I gained vision. As I write them again, I wish to touch you.

Yours in dreams and daylight.....

O dear friend of mine, have you known those thoughts of yours? That silent pain?

The love you raise day and night, does it bring down a grief with the morning rain?

Does it fetch the tears in plenty or a bait for up-down breaths of mourning?

But you my dear friend saw what bright happiness between this sorrowful warning?

In my eyes grows the beautiful, the new, and all that which is unsullied

A sky in blue with the green swaying below,nectar in yellow on which the birds feed

They all seem to live like me

Laughing and singing in endless glee

As they smile, they play with fear

Slowly calling death to come near

Mute to pathos, not knowing how to cry

They deal with your precious pain,cold and dry....

A flower I knew once, wilted bravely, with a grin spread far and wide

The silver at night obliviates itself when the sun comes up from the tide

The star would twinkle giving all its light

As a dawn wipes away the dark navy night

And nowhere is a soul as happy as mine

Come to me dear friend, following its shine

The song inside soothes, and heals through a cheer

As a heart then wretched,sleeps amidst peace and care

The tears know no bar, they flow everyday

For once seek laughter, forgetting the grey

Then we all can glitter in glory as the wings take us to what lies fore

We all tune in to a warm harmony as sadness becomes our yesterday's lore....

O dear friend of mine, take the pain with the thought that belongs to you

The love you give to the seasons has a black with a pain lying in its vitue....
