Poetry 2025 Longlist, Tamali Neogi

 Wings of Cloud


It's a cosmic dance,

not like the sudden clattering of

melancholic pearly beads on the floor,

but in great happiness, rhythmically,

almost in silvery joy,

the first few drops of rain

get dissolved in love of the river,

journey as adventurous as life,

flowing from an unknown world

to an unknown distance,

forming strong bonds with strangers!

That happiness is not unknown to the grey heron,


crossing the chest of grey sky,

not unknown to us who move on and on

from the point of differentiation to the point of unison,


from faction to the conception of whole,

from cruelty and hate to ecstasy of love,

before darkness engulfs the whole.

Looking upwards could you say,

when grey wings have become wings of cloud?
