That Morning is Here...

by Dr. Kumarendra Mallick

Oriya original : Dr. Satya Pattnaik, Ohio, USA
Translation: Kumarendra Mallick

Sometimes the day breaks,
when sweet notes of trust
come sailing in the wind

Sometimes the day breaks,
when the door of affection
is sighted in the sun

Sometimes the day breaks,
when a few lines of leisurely poetry
are scripted on the pages of the sky

Sometimes the day breaks,
when in the garden a flower blossoms
to which its heart a butterfly can open up

If ever one such dawn arrives,
unlock the mind, unlock the soul
and open all the closed windows of your heart

If ever one such dawn arrives,
everything appears to be my own;
Ah! Such a beautiful look the earth dons…

If such a dawn –
with no attachment and sans self, arrives,
love just happens

Lo! It appears,
one such morn is here!
