विकल्प वृक्ष

सुनते हैं कभी एक पेड़  था 
रोज़ लोग आकर 
दुखड़ा रोते उस पेड़ से 
तरह तरह के लोग ,दुःख  भी 
सबके किसम किसम के ...

एक दिन पेड़ के कोटर से कोई बोला 

अँधेरे में आना 

अपना दुःख यहीं बाँध जाना 
उत्तर  सबेरे मिल जाएगा ............

लोग सारी रात आते ही आते चले गए 
सुबह बड़ी भीड़ थी 
पेड़ के नीचे सन्नाटा भी ...
ऊपर के कोटर से फिर वही  आवाज़ उतरी 
काफी से अधिक खुरदुरी 

"हर दुःख को पढ़ लो 
फिर आपस में अदल बदल कर लो 
जिसे जो दुःख अपने से ज्यादा बेहतर लगे "

बड़ा गुलापडा  मचा .......
दोपहर तक सब भाग लिए 
.....
एक भी विनिमय नहीं हुआ ........................

(कैलाश वाजपाई)

अंत में ....

अब मैं कुछ कहना नहीं चाहता ,
सुनना चाहता हूँ ,
एक समर्थ सच्ची आवाज़ ,
यदि कहीं हो …
अन्यथा ,
इससे पूर्व कि,
मेरा हर कथन ,
हर मंथन , हर अभिव्यक्ति ,
शून्य से टकराकर फिर वापिस लौट आये ,
उस अनंत मौन में समा जाना चाहता हूँ ,
जो मृत्यु है …
वह बिना कहे मर गया ,
यह अधिक गौरवशाली है ,
यह कहे जाने से ,
कि वह मरने के पहले ,
कुछ कह रहा था ,
जिसे किसी नें सुना नहीं ……..
