Coming Of The Fog
Killing the light,Blurring the stars,
Marring the breeze--
Nature's many-stringed harp--
It comes
Silently, sinisterly,
Over the land, over the sea,
Spreading its beggar-raiment of brown.
Without stop, without sound,
Over the valley
Like a great serpent of silence
Coiling around the heart of sound.
A damp insidiousness
Creeps into the night;
A drab numbness sets in
Dripping in lugubrious drops
From the haggard fingers
Of the autumn trees.
It strangles the last sound,
It devours the last light,
Trembles in fear
To see its own visage;
It moves on, on, and around,
Ceaselessly, untiringly,
Till the black night is drowned
In an abyss of brown.
(The end)
Dhan Gopal Mukerji's poem: Coming Of The Fog

In love's afterglow, full Of stars,Those lilies of the river of night, Sing no song, dear, speak no word. The white noontide has ebbed into gold; Shores-breaking seas cease to roar; Lo! the moonrise of our soul. Hardly a kiss, or the shadow of a caress; No decking the hour with the jasmines of touch; But a rose-petal shivering in exquisite agony--our love. The weary sunset has grown wearier; A vague lassitude encircles us
In Love's Afterglow, Full Of Stars

(THE ABSOLUTE)(1) Our hopes that fail Are but truths that set To illumine other spirits on their pathway; As our joys that come true Are their far-off dreams, That through the cadence of our life Ring out their pent-up tunes. Whatever dies--needs must live, Whatever breathes doth die too; But above death and life Shines that High Light Where all find rest,
Sanatan
