Santosh Kumar Biswa - WHITE DOVE

White Dove
An Anthology of Love, Peace, Fidelity and Humanity by Santosh Kumar Biswa
The Unsung Hero
My words ne'er end to treasure you,
Like ripples in the water that keep breaking,
For words are few for the great deed committed.
My salutes are oceanic to praise you
Like the sky very deep that never ceases,
For hands are less and your deeds high.
Like the moon, you emitted light in the darkness,
For your people whom you dared from the heart
And your soil, never to worry about yourself.
Dauntless you appeared in the field to salvage,
With no grub, but only your loyal heart
Across the border, leaving behind your loved one.
You died, not out of your mind to oppose
But for the soil you dearly loved and the citizenry,
To remain unsung, you went unnoticed,
Like stars that remain invisible during the daylight.
You bore no stars on your shoulders to be realized,
Nor they sang about you, when you lived.
