I seem to have loved you in numberless forms

news-details

Hyderabad: 14 Dec 2022: "I seem to have loved you
in numberless forms,
numberless times,
in life after life,
in age after age,
forever.
My spellbound heart has
made and remade the
necklace of songs,
that you take as a gift,
wear round your neck
in your many forms,
in life after life,
in age after age,
forever.
Whenever I hear old
chronicles of love,
its age-old pain,
its ancient tale of
being apart or together.
As I stare on and on
into the past,
in the end you emerge,
clad in the light of a
pole-star piercing the
darkness of time:
You become an image
of what is remembered,
forever.
You and I have floated
here on the stream that
brings from the fount
at the heart of time,
love of one for another.
We have played alongside
millions of lovers,
shared in the same
shy sweetness of meeting,
the same distressful tears
of farewell,
old love but in shapes
that renew and renew,
forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet,
it has found its end in you
the love of all man’s days
both past and forever;
Universal joy,
universal sorrow,
universal life.

The memories of all loves
merging with this one
Love of ours,
and the songs of
every poet past
and forever."
Rabindranath Tagore,
Unending Love
