Delving and Replenishing

By Madhumita Dash

She knew there is always a clear sky

At the end of the claustrophobic tunnel;

No more she feels breathless, senseless now.

The Sun descends again , the moon rises serenely and calmly,

Reflection causes happiness ample and lavish

Glinting and glistening upon the water.

The river gurgles, the flows giggle at the edge

Edge end of her wars and the whole earth ahold her to grow,

To fold the gust into gentle breeze.

Again she gathers the power to bring skin to her vivid life,

To remind herself the innocence

Beyond the surgeon’s knife.

To smile and reborn again with a dare to dance in the soul

To strike the mortal scattering in the wind again

To find her way home.

To seek again a place in the hallowed songs of the hearts,

Where the euphonious rhythms of cherubic earth

Appear deep and real.
