POEM

Day by day I float my paper boats
one by one down the running stream.

In big black letters I write my name on them
and the name of the village where I live.

I hope that someone in some strange land
will find them and know who I am.

I load my little boats with shiuli flowers
from our garden, and hope that these
blooms of the dawn will be carried safely to
land in the night.
– Rabindranath Tagore

కవి రవీంద్రనాథ్ టాగూర్ ప్రతిరోజూ పారుతున్న సెలయేట్లో కాగితపు పడవలు వదులుతాడు ఆ పడవలని ఒక్కటొక్కటిగా సెలయేటిలో వదులుతాడు. కవి ఆ పడవలపై తన పేరు, తాను ఉండే ఊరి పేరు నల్లటి పెద్ద అక్షరాలలో రాస్తాడు.

ఈ పడవలని ఎవరో ఎక్కడో ఒక కొత్తచోట చూస్తారని ఆశిస్తాడు. ఆ పడవలని కవి తమ తోటలోని షివులి పూలతో నింపుతాడు. ఉదయం పూసిన ఈ పూలు రాత్రికి సురక్షితంగా ఏదో ఒక తీరానికి చేరతాయని ఆశిస్తున్నాడు.
