The Desert Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

On silent stone a song begins to rise,
Within an endless heart that knows no birth;
Its timeless youth sings grandly to the skies,
As cosmic light cascades upon the earth. 

No weary drift can weigh this current down,
The desert dust ignites with golden bright;
The poison turns to ash within its crown,
An unblinking mirror guards the burning sight. 

A city carved in rock stands firm inside,
The leaping flame becomes its vital breath;
This house of dust will never bow its pride,
The timeless tide commands the path of death. 

When ultimate destruction breaks the sky,
Eternal fragrance smiles as lives defy.
