Stars of hope

Ekta Mishra 1975 (Modinagar)



When I look around me
I can see the stars
Stars of hope and pleasure
Stars above all the bars
Stars ...
they have sculpted an awesome spectacle...
Stars their speechless anthem which I do hear in the wild...
Whenever my day or dusk,
Is clamped by the ghastly musk,
Musk of disillusionment and disdain
Leaving my trails all in vain
I look at their glittering raiments
And find my way out out of every chaotic situation out there in the wild
Out there in the dark
This guiding light of mine
I am going to make it shine...
Stars above all bars..

About this poem

About the guiding light that I see in the stars, of the vast blanket that the sky is adorning in the night..
