POEM

Forest far off

— Sagarika Deb

After this pandemic gets over
And a new life comes to us
Let’s not go back to chaos so soon
Let’s take our car and leave our gadgets at home
Let’s take some time and
Enter into a forest

Wandering on a wet, rainy path
Smelling the fragrance of wet soil
Let’s lean around the leaves
Swinging with the weight of dewdrops on it

How the clouds play hide and seek with the sun
How the rain sprays water over nature
If we keep our eyes closed and hear the jingles of rain
It will leave us sleeping right there
How will the colourful flowers look in the rainy weather
Contrasting with the green around
Let’s think of it
And let’s spend a long time wandering in the greenery.
