The Realm Beneath

By Madhumita Dash

I unfurl myself many a time

In the midst of trees, moonlit nights,

Mist, clouds, rain, scars of roaring sea...

I feel the deep anguish I buried,

Sometimes whimpering,

Rolling down with my teary eyes......

I cared much for others,

Bothered least about me.

Capitulated many a time but

Fortunately, not dead yet......

I am rich in my essence

High in my thoughts

Fly with my dreams to liberate my soul

To treasure that euphoria......

I have fought my battles

Held down the fleeting heart

But I rose on my own to conquer again

The battle I chose.....
