In Gratitude for poet, Mitali Chakravarty, who shares her words of wonder to enliven today's possibilities.


Trillings of Gold and Green 

By Mitali Chakravarty

 



Rain

 

Rain falls silencing flames,

fuelling resurgence of life,

painting colours of rainbows

in the skies. Hopes of a new

start colour the Earth with

the beginnings of green. 

Plenitude of molten orange 

sunrises shade the world

with peace and love. Birds

trill songs of freedom as

humans wake up to change

laced with acceptance. 

 















The Birth of Hope

 

A sun-kissed brush

paints swirls of

pink and gold in

the canvas called 

 

the sky. With a soft 

murmur, the breeze 

sings a silent song till 

the Van Gogh-like strokes

 

dissolve. The cold grey

blushes as the sun

glides out from the clouds.

A Midas touch awakens 

 

the start of a new day --

a fresh yearning, another

song written for a new dawn.

The birth of Hope.
