Behind The Veils
Sambit Rout 1978 (cuttack)
Behind the veils of memories
covered under the dust of the past
A known but unknown face appeared
And soon took a shape- quite familiar
Behind the veils of memories
sealed under the depth of age
A heard but unheard voice sang
and soon became a symphony- quite familiar
I tried to touch and feel
tried to speak and talk
tears rolled down on the either side
of the veils of memories.
