Three Micropoems by Jyotirmaya Thakur

The Key 

All we love is turned to ashes 

Dead flowers tied with indigo 

Shimmering alone in the tree 

Is the key to my heart.

□

Quest 

I don't see you 

And you never see me 

Until we take to the sky 

Where the view is best 

The moon and stars 

Enlighten our quest. 

□

Test 

We are souls on a journey 

Life is our test 

Till our weary souls 

Take a brief rest

In Heaven or Hell.
