The Glimmer I Reflect

By Arushi Manchanda

Two were the gems in me, as they sprout,

Both gave me a fierce spirit to shout.

Alike they arose, yet were dissimilar,

Brighter from one another, as did they glimmer.

Like the enchanted charms,

One gave me the wider arms…

For other, who curated me never to harm!!

How very closely to one do I dwell

With the other underneath my soul, never had me propel!

Close to my heart, with the two I toted

As one gave me wings, whilst other held me rooted!!
