Cocooned Landscapes!

By Nancy Gupta

Amidst a landscape wider,

There lies a landscape concrete,

Cocooned within the walls four,

Completely at ease within the created niche.

Safeguarded and protected clean,

She lies safe with her kinsmen free,

Ignorant of the landscape outer,

She was satisfied with her inner landscape indeed!

But once She was compelled to step out,

The shining Moon prompted her aloud,

The wider landscape made her a way,

Within the branches of trees,

She went flying away…

The ignorance threw away,

The enlightenment found its way,

A trap within a trap,

Is all set to intervene straight.

Unable to go back to her own cocoon,

The landscape wider has sown deeper its roots,

The kinsmen took her inside by force,

But the lady now is left with a lost core!
