A Hug Can Alter Us

Ujjal Mandal 1995 (Ganguria)

Free verse
A hug means a bit of peace
Inside, forgetting all pain
A fragment of smile.
A hug means arriving of spring
Where bees and flowers absorb
All the attention to loving,
When the moon shares her glowing
Light with a dark night is a hug,
Nothing but love can alter
A cruel heart to a soft lotus.

    Lotus is beautiful, tentative, white and pure. Prone to crushing or dining table vase with the party happening. A hug may trip the switch.
