A giant Eagle flies and flies 

  In its shoulder sitting a boy  

  And looking the pleasant sky in joy  .

The clouds fly over his head  

As a big umbrella shed 

Under his feet cloud floats 

Like hundred running boats.

 The boy sees in surprise  

 Another Eagle is flying in the breeze                  Taking a girl on its shoulder 

 She is looking all around in wonder.

 And she disappears in the sky very soon 

Her Eagle flies swift as to catch the moon. 

 Flying a long the Eagle stands in the sky  

  The boy looks down and sees the green nature 

The Eagle slowly comes down from high 

 And stands on a green-fair.

  From the bird's shoulder the boy comes down    

 In a grassy field and sees a lovely scene - 

He looks all around and finds green and green . 

Fruits are hanging in the trees and vine-

 Flower peeps and little birds sing so sweet  

 Who has seen the nature so bright?  

 While walking through the forest hill  

 Under a tree the boy meets the girl .

 She is dressed in blue skirt  

She is afraid but looks smart. 

She asks the boy, how you are here? 

 I have come here on a birds shoulder. 

 Where the birds have now gone? 

 Replies the boy, it's unknown. 

 She asks how we will go back. 

The boy replies, walking through hilly track.

 In the midnight the boy rises from the sleep  

  By the alarm of a wall clock  

 He sees the picture of a big Eagle in block 

  Hanging in the wall by clip. 

 Later the boy attends a marriage party   

 He sees in surprise that girl, in simple beauty  .

 He looks and looks at the girl   

 Today she is dressed in pearl.  

 The girl also looks at the boy   

 With a strange she watches thy  

The boy seems to her very known 

 Where she saw him! She is forgotten.  

A flash of light and dark comes in her mind 

 She tries to link a memory which is left behind.                                                      

The season of rain saying good bye.

Smell of night jasmine blowing in the air

So many flower bloomed by the side of river.

 In the night moon comes with a big smile -

Dew drop in the morning covers plants and pasture.

In this atmosphere of beautiful nature

Durga puja comes in Bengal with a pleasure.

It’s a great festival of Bengali Hindus all

They wait all the year eagerly for this festival.

Boys and girls, wears new garments of design

And get together puja dais with respect and passion.

Devi durga was the daughter of Himalaya and Menka

And wife of god Siva as Hindu puran said

In ancient time king Surath worshiped Devi durga

In spring time and got back his states which was mislaid

But Sri Ram worshiped Devi durga in autumn season

For the rescue of Devi Sita who was captive by ravana

From that time this puja came in trend in autumn instant

And people enjoy this puja constant 

We can see different statue in puja dais

As a symbol of peoples goddess-

They are -Saraswati, Lakshmi, Kartick, and Ganesh.

Devi durga has ten arms and lion carries her

 Various weapons we see in her hand like a warrior.

She fights with a giant called Mahisasur

The giant is lying under the feet of the goddess.

 People arrange this puja in city and towns delightfully.

Rich men display this puja in villages politely

Invite villagers in their big dais to enjoy fully

Drummer beat the drum in a rhythm very pleasant

By the bit of this drum people sinks in enjoyment

Boys and girls men and women enjoy this interval

But the people feel sad at the end of puja festival.

They feel boredom of  busy working life again

But they console, the puja will come again and again.                

That is Sabari who was Sri Ram’s devotee.

She showed a new way of love and devotion.

Sabari longed to see Sri Ram her beloved deity.

Day after day she plucked flowers from jungle

And adorned the way by beautiful flowers

and waited for her god’s arrival.

 At last the auspicious day came in her days.

One bright day Sri Ram entered in her cottage-

While walking through the forest with Lakshman

In quest of  Devi Sita who was missing sudden.

 Sabari was stunned to see Ram and lakshman-

She could not believe his eyes but when-

She realized Sri Ram has truly come

She welcomed and talked with them.

And requested to take seats in cushion.

Sabari brought some plums to feed them.

She thought that the plums may be sour

And should not offer sour plums to the dear.

As there was no other things to offer

 She took taste of plums by her tongue

And offered sweet plums to her dear.

Sri Ram was charmed by her intension.

But Ram the god knew the heart of his fan

He gladly accepted plums and ate with content.

Lakshman also followed Ram and ate the same.

Sri Ram was surprised by the love of this fan

He met many devotees but Sabari was the exception.

DREAM

The trees were then in flowers

Sweet smell spread around the air

Singing birds were flying here and there

Spring had come with all its fair.

In the garden on the bed of grass

John lied under a tree

He read a sweet love story

Of glee, and he looked merry

When john slept could not remember

A beautiful sight with wonder

He saw a fair girl of fairyland

With a red rose in her hand.

 She was standing and moving in the sky

And looking john with wistful eye.

John gazed and gazed but could not

Say any word, as she was long away

John felt a thrill in heart

The fairy weared in a long white skirt.

Little the time John passed in sleep

But the fairy impressed him deep

When awoke john thought of dreamy scene

He desired to dream the fairy once again.

One morning John was sitting in his room

A girl through the garden came to him

With a strange he saw the girl came in dream

John looked and looked could not utter a word

What do you see, I am Roseate she said.

John could know his girl friend of  childhood

She was a sweet girl of ten years old

Now after twelve years Roseate has become

A fairy and a girl of John’s dream.
