WORK OF ART

 

Pranab Kumar Majumdar

 

The ultimate gifts of sculptor

Are works of art, imaginative, perceptive

 

Triumphs and defeats are but momentary

And shadows are subjugated by focus

Of steadfast thoughtlines, definitive, objective;

The sculptor carves a niche sublimating loud cries

Submerging mortals for perpetuating mementos

 

The chisel strikes the stone articulately

Oozing out bloods paint the fingers

But bloodshed is an integral part

Of making a work of art -

Is not a war immaculate work of art?
