Liberation

by Aparna Chatterjee

Will the tears go away one day?

I asked the smiles that were at bay.

Yes, they said, some day,

The tears might just ebb away.

When? I asked. What day?

Please be patient, said they.

Wait for that day…

When the rising sun sets

For the day,

With the promises of a

Tomorrow that never comes

Your way.

Oh I see, what you mean,

Wouldn’t that be my death day?

Yes, they said smilingly :)

The final release on liberation day.
