TEARDROPS by Debabrata Das

 TEARDROPS 

For how long the teardrops 

     Be shedding like springs 

From the tip- corners of eyes 

     Like eternal river flowing?

Deteriorated oh! I am though,

     Yet aspiring higher for 

Aspiration unmountable. 

     Yet, let the drops be glowing 

With God's Divine grace 

    For the waters be not of sympathy,

Nor of consideration-

     Let it glow golden like sunlight 

With golden radiance showering 

    From God's golden crown 

With the thrilling joys of recognition 

    Of higher and nobler creation 

Overlapping the whole world 

     With awe-inspiration for the 

World-wide across the globe 

     Messaging the down- trodden 

To rise, to wake and to strive ;

    Never to look backward and, halt 

Rather Strive, Strive and Strive 

     With hard sweating toil and 

Pearl like drops be gliding down 

    With God's graceful blessings.
