Can you light the fire?


Have you seen yesterday? Do you believe in today? ...Is the definition of Tomorrow translates to a deeper marrow beneath the skin.

My soul has had its voyage - deep rooted knots overpassing the Gordian and yet released more than the milk of Venus - Have you seen fireplaces? No, the natural one, not the one the man had wrought with bricks, stones and inventor's code - the stars that lock kisses in the night flare.

I had seen them - heard them through sitars and toblas and seen through cellos and pianos - heard them through the electric keyboard and the ancient-flute.

My voyage is but endless. AS the cells of my body I had been phoenix-gifted - my manufactoring has been always renewed and temporary expiration has never fulfilled my genesis. Yet all date and time needs its fix of death and life.

So - even if I die now my soul had crept in the mountain stones and river banks and ocean floors and clouds ashore (As Jibanananda Das would have said)

Light the fire please - for this creature who has been both human and spirit will now write the last line...
