I'm In Waiting

To get you, for your closeness Still waiting I'm at the bottom of the Banyan tree I wait and see abstractedly- The sun rises and sets in the western gorge Twilight loses its existence at the touch of deep night The full moon forgets its glory becoming a guest of the new moon Didn't find you anywhere To get you, for your closeness Still waiting I'm at the bottom of the Banyan tree The monsoon takes birth in the hardness of summer heat The winter comes for the kinship relation of autumn, late autumn The dexterity of summer is anchored in the gentle harbor of spring I am looking for you in the veins of all existences Nowhere you are, nowhere To get you, for your ever closeness Still waiting I'm at the bottom of the Banyan tree The flowers bloom and fall off No, you are not there The birds fly freely in the blue sky No, you are not there To the tune of the shepherd's beautiful flute You are not there In the silent humming of the college students' love You are not there In the unwanted sting of Covid-19 No, you are not there also In the flirtatious words of the virtual colorful world No, you are not there You are nowhere, oh, to get you For your celestial closeness still waiting I'm At the shadow of Banyan tree © Mahtab Bangalee Chattogram 26.06.2021
