Telescope = Blue is blending into blue, indigo, heliotrope; ancient stars are melting together into the ultimate formless. A night through this telescope rekindles hopes to dream more. The ecstatic whisper of a boy is spreading in the heaven taking shape, molding into a milky way. An old owl is hooting about with disturbed hunger and broken concentration to nail a few mice of this lonesome attic. The boy is a stranger, breaking its habit. The boy is in his way to realize the way mystery multiplies in night. In sky. In abstract signs on its canvass. He clasps his prize, a treasure hunted out of the attic. Hoots the owl, again. His eye once more settles on the glass of the telescope. It might have been of his grandfather’s in his youth. The surreal cry of the sky travels through the bronze conduit of the machine…. Time is changing domes of the soft crystal of sand watch. © 2008 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar |

Wonderful emotions! You created a magical atmosphere, dear Ku. Telescope and starry sky, attic and owl, sand watch ... all make for an unforgettable reading experience. It's impressed in my mind in all its beauty. And it is a keeper, absolutely.  Margherita |

Thank you Margherita! I had just a half moment ago, in my reply to Kushals' "Untimely Santa" asked him to post it again and just as I came out of replying, here it was! Kushal, this is magical! They say a picture paints a thousand words. Well, YOUR words paint a thousand pictures. You had me hanging on every word, oh so slowly, so that I could see and feel it all, each time I read it for pure pleasure. The night sky and your mind hold such mysteries, beauty, whispers of infinity, unutterable complexity and diversity-yet-unity and thank goodness for that, because the combination of all of that gave us this masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your superb poetry with us. - Owl |
