Song of Rabindranath Tagore
Kabir Suman
Song of Rabindranath Tagore ...Gogone Gogone Apnar mone ki khela
painting your fantasies in the sky
you arrive in new garb every passing moment
you conceal the sun inside your long braid
conjuring what images against the shadows
what music your enveloping clouds whisper to me
summer storm carries your rumbling laughter
to faraway shores
the golden light blends into the black
your pearly attire darkens
what riches you hide from our eyes
shrouded in the massed clouds.
Irene-Rakesh
