Light My Light
by Supatra Sen / February 16th, 2025
The first rays
Part the blue celestial curtain
And make their way
Through clouds of mist
The dewdrops clasp them
As molten gold
The leaves draw patterns
On the moist earth
The blooming buds
Open their eyes
To the divine splendor
Birds flutter leaving their nests
And the world awakens to magical symphony
A fragile creeper in a dark corner
Twists, curves, bows
Tirelessly seeking the golden elixir
An elderly staggers her way
To the wooden armchair
Bathed in the untainted glow
Life’s thirst for life
The eternal quest…
