The mind hanging on the wrist watch
of time
is sometimes close, sometimes far away
The fireflies flock to the green grass on the alpath
The endless dreams play on your lips
The warmth of the atap rice touches
the deep night
There is still time
you move towards another new dawn
There is still time
come closer
or the sky will move further away
a few saltwater oceans will be formed
There’s still time
go away or come closer.
Notes-
Alpath :
Alpath also refers to the path along the boundary of the land.
Atap :
This bengali word. The English synonym for Atap is sunned rice or raw rice. This is rice that is dried in the sun and not boiled, so it has a natural softness and high nutritional value.
