SAROJINI
"Sarojini"
Sarojini, you...
Spreading palash flowers in the wind,
In the vast and pale sky,
Why do you come alone, resembling a leaf on a weary tree,
carrying the burden of despair?
In a certain spring,
Adorning your neck with purity,
A great hope awakens,
In the tired thoughts of the thorn.
I will take you
Millions of miles away on the path of the cosmos,
Amidst the starry brilliance,
You will find a language.
