झाडांच्या हिरव्या गर्दीत
आपले अस्तित्व सांभाळत
उभा असतो तो ...आत्ममग्न
एखाद्या चिंतनशील
तत्त्वज्ञासारखा
शिशिर संपता संपता,
बहुधा कोऽहम चा
शोध लागतो तेव्हा,
सारा पर्णसंभार
उतरवून ठेवतो एखाद्या विरागी
योग्यासारखा
अशातच हलक्या पावलांनी
चैत्र येतो
आणि तो अंतर्यामी
फुलून येतो
नाजूक सोनपिवळ्या
झुंबरानी बहरून
जाते काया
तेव्हा हा सोऽहंज्ञानी
जाणावा उमजावा
सुवर्णा बहावा
सुवर्ण बहावा

Here again after so long,
I see us right here, at this window,
