Birth of a song : a group exhibition of Gopal Chandra Naksar, Joydeb Chatterjee, Paban Roy, Pankaj Kumar Pal, Subendu Biswas and Sumita Banerjee are all artists from Jamshedpur, state of Jharkhand, who express themselves through forms and figures. Each one of them has their own visual language and vocabulary. Nature inspires them as it does to all creative fraternity. It would be apt to quote Kandinsky:

 

“It requires that one can draw, that one is highly sensitive for composition and color and that one is a real poet – that’s most important.”

I join them through my poem dedicated to Earth.

 

I am not alone

earth like a toddler

is always in my arms

she has been terminally ill

had almost given up on me

I took her for granted

thought she is mine forever

and here she was ready to leave

without  even saying goodbye

a sudden knock of death

on my door warning me that

it will be coming back sooner

than I realise

it also said that stay in

if you come outdoors

I will get you by the throat

take your breath away

alarmed I ran to earth for solace

but was shocked to find her

shattered and lifeless

ready to go

I beg of her to stay back

and promised her

to love her like never before

second chances are so rare

she is generous and loving

I am trying my best

to make her know

that I care

he sleeps in my sleep

and she sings and

dances in my dreams

finally both are healed

I have learnt to love and share

words flow out of my soul

I heard the bulbul in my balcony

singing some songs of the Earth 

I laughed from the heart in years

I don’t know how she sings myI sing lullaby to her

s words.
