Gedicht
Kedarnath Singh
COME WHEN YOU FIND THE TIME
Comewhen you find the time.
Come
even if you can’t find the time.
Come
like the strength
in hands
like blood
flowing through arteries.
Come
like the slow silent
flames
in stoves.
Come.
Come
like the fresh thorns
in babul trees
after the rains.
Shredding days
smashing promises
come.
Come
as Wednesday
arrives
after Tuesday.
Come.

COME WHEN YOU FIND THE TIME
From: Akal Mein Saras
COME WHEN YOU FIND THE TIME
Comewhen you find the time.
Come
even if you can’t find the time.
Come
like the strength
in hands
like blood
flowing through arteries.
Come
like the slow silent
flames
in stoves.
Come.
Come
like the fresh thorns
in babul trees
after the rains.
Shredding days
smashing promises
come.
Come
as Wednesday
arrives
after Tuesday.
Come.
