MERIDIAN

Very soon I know this earth
on I live roll back from its cosmic
pathways to tell me a secret
that the only truth I can hold
in my two hands like a lotus flower
is the one emerges
from clear water ponds
in silent dawns of my temple of Gods
in black stones unique
and the fragrance of flowers pure
from the valley of bamboo flutes
and in one far end country
where oceans freeze in forms of ice
I find to my surprise the ultimate meridian
of earth on poles-imaginary
where countries hoist
flags with no feelings of patriotism
and in my flagpost
I placed my tiny tri colour
in orange fire
to love my country more
in pure spirit of patriotism.
