To The Children Of The Cosmos

By Anushka Dey

Your eyes have the depth of sea 

Just as solemn yet feral and free

( you have ) The same calmness and life it bears 

The same mad rage and salt in your tears 

So why think falling is a bad bargain 

Remember waves collapse to rise again 

Your mind as magnificent as an ancient tree

Just as withered yet vibrant and green 

( you have ) The same artistry and wisdom age-old 

The same desolation and patience it holds 

Yet you hold on to past and rot in despair and gloom 

Let go of wilted flowers, new buds would bloom

Your spirit as exuberant as  a butterfly 

Just as adventurous yet diffident and shy 

(You have) the same  grace the same flamboyance

The same kaleidoscopic wings fluttering with elegance

Trust the process, as brick by brick you build tomorrow’s pillar 

Forget not the rainbow hued butterfly was once a caterpillar

You are a beautiful chaos , a walking art

Carrying the elixir of life in your heart

Your have the magic of moonlight in your veins 

So you bleed light when the world scorches you in cruel flames

So when you burn , burn like a phoenix to rise again 

Just like the moon that phases out to be full again
