Jaydeep Sarangi
Delayed Return to Daily Acts
On this bird cooing morning
The sun rays on the books I am reading these days
Lighting up all words, emotions and charm
Calling it good morning. Repeating the name.
My nation is my name, a timely cooked cuisine
A morning bird, a debut collection of promise
Where clouds court in joy, raining the light.
Another beautiful day
Thoughts never arrive late here
What a lovely feeling it is to be free
Sitting, reading and returning to my unsaid words for you.
