New year! New year! New year!

Shadows deep in the spirit lies,
Whisper dream in closed eyes.

Beds of ease the seed unsown.

Title: Music Sound
Name: Dr. Debabrata Maji
Country: India
The waves of air have the patterns start
Science forms the notes you can hear,
The physicist precisely has clear chart
Measures the sound and calms all fear.
The physics of a string’s soft hum
But a struck drum’s vibrations start,
Math has made the symphony come
Shows a logic deep within the heart.
A perfect chord has a vibrant hue
Both born from logic and the soul,
Music is science is strong and true
And art has made the spirit whole.

Author: Dr. Debabrata Maji
Country: India
A shine of light on the path to tread,
The spiritual soul has a living thread.
It may quiet hum beneath the fray.
The spiritual soul has shade of day,
It seeks no gold no transient power,
Only find its peace in the lives hour.
It whispers love in the gentle breeze,
Have blossoms like the ancient trees.
May sees beyond the fleeting sight,
The beauty bath has the inner light.
A flicker always in the darkest night,
May guide the path to what is right.

Dr. Debabrata Maji’s poems reveal a quiet clarity that grows from simplicity, reflection, and a deep concern for both inner life and the shared human world. His form is generally straightforward, using short stanzas and clear rhythms that make the poems accessible to a wide range of readers, while still allowing space for thought and feeling. In New Year, he draws on the familiar symbol of renewal to express hope, dignity, and human rights, showing his interest in social harmony and collective aspiration. In Realise Yourself, the focus turns inward, exploring self awareness, awakening, and personal responsibility through gentle but steady progression, as if guiding the reader step by step toward inner strength. Music Sound reflects his scientific background, blending poetry with physics and mathematics, and showing how logic and emotion can coexist rather than oppose each other. This union of science and art becomes a signature idea in his work. The Spiritual Soul continues this reflective tone, emphasizing peace, humility, and moral light over material desire. Across these poems, inspiration comes from everyday life, inner questioning, spirituality, and knowledge, all shaped by a calm and sincere voice. His style avoids complexity for its own sake, choosing instead clarity, balance, and warmth, allowing his poems to speak gently while carrying thoughtful ideas about humanity, self growth, and universal connection.
