A tear here runs forth from her cheeks,
A sigh escapes from her dry cracked lips;
A prayer to escape from prying ears and nosy grins,
A wish to disappear from that place at the mere blink of an eye.
Every frivolous rumour comes true in motion,
Every indignity is borne with glares and condescension;
All thoughts are unraveled back to a moment,
Which proved to be the focal point for cruel entertainment.
Listen ! you are no moss gathering rolling stone,
That drags its feet enveloped in mere mass and bone;
You are the fire that burns eternally in the sun,
Perpetually bright and golden hued to the eye.
You are the soothing ocean and the sparkling lake,
Breaking forth in foamy currents or crystalline bubbles;
You are the eye of the storm on a windy day,
Unleashing blows at the suburbs and pilling rubbles.
You are the nebulous cosmos settled so far.
Spinning the earth and other planets on fingertips,
You are the wondrous earth supporting a billion ecosystems,
Unleashing her fury forth in lava and earthquakes.
We are the multihued flowers of a divine light,
No power can subdue our truth by its might;
A word or a story unravels the sheets of silence,
And strikes deep in the chords of the slanderous night.
