Ananya Singh, Class XI A
One day, when my brain ceased to explore,
My heart reached out and opened the door
That lead me to a world I’d never seen before,
My feet dragging me through the marble floor.
I closed my eyes shut from the blinding light,
As virtual as a dream jingling at night,
Beautiful trance or a virtual insight,
Lost in the depth of fear of height.
Hesitated once but then I explored,
Many things I’d seen but never adored,
Not angry from being neglected or ignored,
But that world accepted me as a captain on board.
To sail through the troughs and crests with me,
And show me the world I’d never seen,
Not bound by rules and instructions but free,
In an instant I’d entered a wanderlust spree.
The stories of roots of trees hidden deep inside
Different stages of the ages that the soil layers hide
From a world we thought never existed besides
As beautiful in its own existence, varied and wide.
