Mouno “Silence” poem by Tagore translation by Ranu
Whatever I say is ineffectual,
my mind nods ___ it’s not,it’s not.
The words that fulfills my heart
why don’t they ring in my instrument!
It only fills my emotion
my heart is overcast with clouds;
sometimes it rends like a flash of lightning
splits my heart what does it want to show!
Silent dumb stupid in deep darkness
suddenly at midnight it cries in a hundred streams.
Burden of words choke, oh you paralyzed heart,
where did you lose your songs.
No flute,just useless breath___
instead of music only tears.
Dear Ranu,
Thank you very much for sharing this poem. Being reduced to silence, speechlessness, and nothingness…perhaps that’s a gift.
All good wishes,
robert
