Twilight

by Prof. Dr. Anil K. Prasad

We are all alike
Emerging from
The steps - of a pond
Near a forgotten temple
In the remote memory

Whose deity
Has a fresh glint
In the eyes

Whose silence
Is eloquent
To a devotee

Whose prayers
Are yet
To be answered

A poem with word-pictures....makes the reader go close to the 'deity
who has a fresh glint in the eyes'. Thank you for a sensitive poem.

No expression...

only tears are rolling down the cheek...
