People Change/, মানুষ বদলে যায়

This week Magaly has invited us to explore the feelings of despair and delight as our poetic muse.

My thoughts on the prompt:

Both the feelings of delight and despair can have genesis in personal experiences. These feelings can also birth due to circumstantial factors and also on account of people around us whom we call our own and with whom we have a sense of belongingness. 

My response to the prompt:

People change 

With age 

With time

With experience 

With purpose 

With motive 

With pain

Yet there are a few 

Who remain

As they were/are

Like rocks

Entrenched to roots

Forever

(It's again a matter of debate - those who remain unchanged through course of time: do they lack in adaptivity ? Do they in the long run head towards obsoletion ? Is their quality of unchageability an unnecessary obstinacy? Or do they epitomise the  timeless values ultimately catalysing civilizational growth?)

মানুষ বদলে যায় 

বয়সে

সময়ে

অভিজ্ঞতায় 

উদ্দেশ্যে 

স্বার্থে 

আঘাতে

কিন্তু গুটি কয়েক

তবুও থাকে

পাথরের মতন

অচল

অনড় 

শিকড়ে আবদ্ধ

চিরন্তন

Goodbye Spring/বিদায় বসন্ত

This week Rommy invites us to write a poem about a bone in specific or bones in general.

***

A leaf

A dry leaf

A dry, defeated leaf 

A dry, defeated, dejected leaf

A dry, defeated, dejected , dead leaf

A dry, defeated, dejected, dead yet dramatic leaf

Is there really something dramatic about death?

I can't ask the leaf 🌿 🍀 

It is so bone dead

***

Wiki says :

"Bone death, also known medically as avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis, is the loss of bone tissue caused by a sudden or gradual loss of blood supply. Without oxygen and nutrients carried by blood, the bone tissue dies, weakens, and can eventually break down or cause a joint to collapse."

আজ ১ এপ্রিল

বিদায় বসন্ত 

কালের গতি অনবদ্য

বিদায় বসন্ত

নতুন পথ চলা আরম্ভ

বিদায় বসন্ত

তুমি কি দেবে সঙ্গ ?

বিদায় বসন্ত

হয় তো না, তবু আশান্বিত 

বিদায় বসন্ত

এরপর গ্রীষ্ম....শরৎ....তারপর হেমন্ত

বিদায় বসন্ত

চুলের গোড়ায় হিম শ্বেত

আমি আশ্বস্ত 

আজ সত্যিই.... বিদায় বসন্ত
