The man in the black robe
Do you remember the man in a long black robe
Wearing a tall black hat with the secret tricks inside?
The one who left the children awestruck.
The one who'd made us believe that people make wonders!
I see THAT magician today.
I see him in that "God" playing the veena like her fingers were meant for it.
In the one dancing on stage like he has infinite packets of energy in his body.
In him who blends the colors like they were waiting to be on the canvas;
in him who leaves the OT in bliss of having saved someone's breath,
in that player smashing the TT ball like the world ended on that table,
that lady swimming like she is the queen of oceans.
In her who has tears of love for someone.
Imagine what the world would be like if it realised
that it could be the man in the black robe?!
I want to be in that world, to be the man in the black robe,
to spend all the energy on a magic trick!
