How Long ?
How long will winter last for the young seed
As it dies alive, its spring denied
How long will the storm rage for the bird on edge
Waiting, for its wings to fly
How long should the capers halt before they lose step
As the child grows up and the boy dies
How long should the strings bear stretch
Their tunes mute, craving a master's hand
How long do the corks stay shut, as the wine waits
For a celebration to come by
How long should the secrets search a ear
Before they lose scent, And their mystery spoils
How long do the eyes fight sleep, their lust longing a touch
And desire succumbs to its own cries
How long do the lips hold shut, And silence the screams
Before they forget how to smile
How long should a heart seek love
Before it fills itself with ungiving sand
How long will the winter last, for the frosted seed
Why was its spring denied ??
- Sanket
