Village Path
(Translation from Nobel
Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore, ‘Graam Chaara’ in Bengali)
The unpaved village road of
reddish soil
Makes my mind indifferent –
Reminds me of my link with
the dust!
It calls me out of my home
It may lead me to
materialism!
Entangling me with endless
liabilities!
The final message toward
freedom!
