Silence



The still air, ever so calm
The blossoms, hushing their graceful waltz
The rustling leaves, as if to quietly watch
For my pursed lips to spill the words
The raging torrents, now a calm ripple
To quench the fire devouring the remains
Of my broken shards of my hope
The roasting sun a mere glow
To melt my tears contained in my eyes
And let the sounds of despair escape my lips
To tear through the frozen cacophony
Swaying on the creaking bough
Lost in the ocean of thought
Will there ever be a hand
To grab me out of these murky waters?
Engulfing me in the dark clutches of confusion
Strangling my last gasp of air
Oh, the ocean of my own tears
The seething rays in the heat of fury
Melting the sticky embrace of my own tears
And let the strangling stalks of weed wilt
The swirling gushes of wind
Hushed to an innocent breeze
Tenderly stroking my hair with love
To soothe the raging storm in my chest
Fanning my wet cheeks
The cool waters kissing my toes
Washing the twilight woes
The gentle sunshine of dusk
Embracing my heart with warmth
The chill breeze
Rocking me gently in its arms
The moist earth beneath,
Bearing my feet with fondness
The breeze slowly lifting my spirits
As my eyes lifelessly wander into the distance

What else could I ask for?

Baby footprints on time

Hello readers! Here's some really exciting and heartwarming news - Fledgling is turning one! No matter how many things we have done or achieved, those 'first-times' always capture a special place in our hearts. That first-time element is what drove me to write this thoughtful letter to my soul. This post marks one of my most emotional moments, hitting a new milestone with my most cherished partner in this journey, my dear Fledgling. It's been a year since we hatched open, taking a first glimpse of the outside world as soft sunshine peeked in at dawn. Now, before we knew it, we had started flying across the cliffs! It has been an amazing roller-coaster ride this year, definitely not one without potholes and bumps. But the thrill of turning one with something I hadn't even considered urges me to write more and more, as thoughts and feelings gush through. This journey has been a passionate one and we have also remarkably improved over the months of over

Turning Terrific Twelve!

Hi guys! I have crossed yet another milestone! Today, I'm turning twelve! From the time I was in my mother's womb till this very moment, these twelve years have been absolutely exciting and adventurous. The experiences I've had have taught me life's greatest lessons that will always be in my pocket throughout my journey. Turning twelve is often viewed as one of the biggest milestones in a person's life (stepping into tweenhood and much closer to teenage) as it is the last birthday one celebrates as a child and also the first one feeling like a tiny adult! Though I like thinking and planning ahead like an adult would, I still feel, learn and create with the heart of a nine-year-old perhaps. The innocence and creativity of a kid is always greater than the arrogant know-it-all attitude of a teen or adult. I definitely do feel much more matured by thought and response today. I have evolved as a person. Hitting twelve, I suddenly feel so grown up (alm

Simplicity of truth

Hello everyone! Do you believe in miracles? Well, I didn't until last week. So read on to know my story. Just a couple of days ago, I had my first book fair experience and unexpectedly bumped into some of my favorite authors and orators. My eyes scanned every stall for the novels I had listed the day before and for the posters I had wanted for my bedroom. I did manage to get my hands on a couple of novels at Penguin and many other publications but only after a few hours did the magic happen! Notionpress' contest rush notice somehow caught my eye and I instinctively walked in to enquire on that. That's when I met my now-mentor Ms. Meera Barath, the mind behind Mayaakatha, an engrossing collage of thought bubbles. I had no idea she was an author, so I walked up to her and told her that I was searching for a new writer to explore and whether she could help me find some. That's when she took me to the stand where several copies of Mayaakatha were placed. S
