Alone You Stand

BY TANMOY KONER

Alone you stand
In this dump of darkness
Firm, determined
Midst of these muddling winds
Keeping thy glory

Alone you stand,
In this gloom of falsehood
Flickering, shivering
Yet persistent
On thy way

Alone you stand,
As a froth
Under the star-lit ocean
Or sometimes
As a more to the universe
Above the human fathom,
Unfurling thy self

So,
Let me dive inside thee
As I want to unlock
Thy mysteries,
As I want to foster
My being,
As I will unite, someday
With thee.
