Galaxy

Walls and barriers-
I live within their familiar limits…
and I haven’t shattered any…
Oh! no, don’t sympathise
and tell me to be strong…
for I’m no warrior, I realise that.
When flaws failed to fade,
when scars hesitated to heal,
when rocky depths broke scarred ideals,
all I could do was lift my weary gaze
and let the limitless skies
greet me.
So dear, when I say to
let the skies tell you of their stars
and galaxies, their fallen ones
and newborns; do trust,
their miracles dwell in their serenity.❤❤

Crescendo

A torrent of voices
Echoing and booming
Among a revolt for rights…
Bewildered in this inanity,
those voices reach a crescendo,
Where everything is noise, shrieks and chaos…
Isn’t it time to seek our silences and listen?

Bequeath

Sammi Cox Weekend Writing Prompt

“Didi, do you know what happened? Our late Mr Dutta’s prodigal son got arrested for drug dealing. So shameful!!! It’s a pity that Mr Dutta could bequeath only his worldly wealth, not his humane side. One never really knows the exact measures to ensure perfect parenting. If we’re too strict, they search for freedom elsewhere; if we try to be friendly, they might take advantage of you!!!”. Swati listened nonchalantly as her help, Sudha’s daily knowledge-cum-gossip sharing continued along with her floor cleaning, quite efficiently!!!

A/N: Didi means elder sister

Dazzling us in summers too,
In shades of pink, white, purple;
Tokens of love and luck,
May you be known far and wide!!!
