Tears of the Fallen Bird
Tears of the Fallen Bird
Mariam Henna (I Semester BA English Copy Editor), Winner
Gazing out into the night sky
Desperately seeking for her lucky star
That always shone bright and
Stood out among the rest!
Yet today, hiding behind the clouds
It was nowhere to be seen
Her heart clouded with deep regrets
Etched into her soul!
Mother Earth mirroring her emotions,
A slight breeze, Sorrow in the wind
Thunder struck, Rain fell with
The intensity of the pain she had
Cleansing her mind of all evil
From the darkness of the past
Giving way for the sun to rise
Strengthening her soul
With rays Of hope, Awakening
the Bird of joyful chirpings
within her, Filling the Dark World
With the innocence of sweet music
Letting go of Her search for the star!
The Final Flight
Rosemary Tom (I Semester MA English), winner
Darkness seeps in, smooth as water.
Windows are forced shut.
The cage is bolted.
Wings cut off, rendered useless.
Trampled upon by ignorant, unworthy feet.
Faith is a stranger.
Revolt!
But, combat seems futile.
Notions so deep; flux unthinkable.
Sands of time do not repair.
I cling like a bird that will never take flight,
gazing, petrified.
There is relief.
Yes, there is relief in the End.
Farewell.
Soaring upwards I fly in glory.
Free. Free from the tedious chains of life.
