It is all well, it is all well:
If a speck of light from out of the sky
Just flitted into my room,
It were indeed a thing of unbounded joy.
But when the whole earth
Lies enveloped in darkness,
I for myself need no light,
Never into the tribe of jackals
Would a stag enter, its horns clipped and shorn.
I worship light
And I sing to Darkness:
This is no contradiction.
For the life I would fain touch
Still lingers on darkness' edge
And I must love Darkness
To reach out to that life.
Gopal Bhowmik
