If You Walk In The Dark

If you walk in the dark, alone or with someone, You will see the beauty of Nature That remained unseen to you so far. You will hear the unheard songs of Nature That will enchant you as you hear, and forever. If you walk in the dark, You may rediscover a newer self Whom you didn't have time to see earlier. You may retrieve some lost memories of pain, Which, painful though, you love to remember. If you walk in the dark, the fireflies will appear And usher you with a cordial ‘guard of honour'. The crickets will gleefully sing a serenade for you, From the treetops the nocturnal birds too Will welcome you with hoots of fervent ardour. Dhaka 26 November 2021
