His Unique Creation

His Unique Creation

P K Routray

A playwright and a poet

on earth all time great

never again will appear

another wizard Shakespeare.

He left his mortal body to day

four centuries back we may say,

twenty-third April Sixteen thousand sixteen, today

we fondly remember him with reverence and awe

Certainly he is a God in incarnation to enrich literary world for ever,

His creation across age, countries, and languages will die never.

Though he has left his mortal body leaving the earth poorer

But his creation will reverberate on palm leaf, paper and on ether.

Humanity past, present and future will miss his mortal presence

But his sonnets, plays with shylock like characters will never ever create his absence.

On this day, with bent knee and bowed head respect to him we pay

For peace and bliss of his soul, to the Almighty we pray.

(On 23rd April 1616 Shakespear left his mortal body)
