Poet – Jotsna Jari
.
Hey Crazy, who are you going to
There is a roof over your head
I’m next to your chest
.
The armour of your
warm caress & love is tied
Why looking for pebbles
You have Parashamani
This birth-life is next to
the Atur home of blue fountain
Worn hope is standing
near your chest
.
Hey crazy, you forget to cry
A stream of water throughout life
stay as it is
With a dream in the middle of chest…
come on, we walk on the road.

[ N. B – 1. Bengali word Parashamani(in English- Philosopher’s stone) has interesting myth… This can transfer any metal into gold. This is first written mention in Cheriokmeta by Zosiomos of Panopolis (c.300 AD).
2. “Atur” home is where long bed rest before & after giving birth. This old traditional practice still found in some villages in Bengal. There is several myths. ]
