Distant drums and chores

by Sharbaaniranjan Kundu

Distant drums always beckon.
Every happiness can be got
on the other side of the river,
one may aver. But only some know
sweetness can be squeezed out
of sugarcane by a mechanical process.

There is pleasure in living,
if proper rythm is maintained
in daily chores and accepting
that nothing is meaningless
and every happening and routine
have a meaning, not immediately evident.
