“We live in the world when we love it.” ~ RABINDRANATH TAGORE
Dear Readers, Community, Friends,
Happy Poetry Month!
PATIENCE
If thou speakest not I will fill my heart
with thy silence and endure it.
I will keep still and wait like the night
with starry vigil
and its head bent low with patience.
The morning will surely come,
the darkness will vanish,
and thy voice pour down in golden
streams breaking through the sky.
Then thy words will take wing in songs
from every one of my birds’ nests,
and thy melodies will break forth in flowers
in all my forest groves.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

He reshaped Bengali literature and music as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.” {source: Wikipedia} He was the first non-European writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
