THe Musk

The Musk

P K Routray

On formation of musk in a musk deer

emits it a mesmerizing and charming odor.

For the musk with fragrance divine sweet

the musk deer go berserk to get it.

unaware it is that the fragrance is from its own musk,

runs hither and thither in frenzy from dawn to dusk.

Similar is the man running for happiness and contentment

which need to be tapped by man, as in him they lie latent.
