Lavanya Shankar Poems

</>Soaring steadfast in the sky,
She went high, round and round,
Frightening timid little ones,
Passing valleys and hills snowbound
...

</>So delicate and fragile..
So tender and gentle..
As if God heard my whisper!
To send his beloved angel….
...

Thunder roaring in the sky
Darkness tearing down the veil
Treacherous is the wind
Tossing big ships in the sea
...

In your childhood I saw you…
Menacing with one thing or the other
Saw you tying friends' shoe laces
Saw them tripping and tossing.
...

Why hold to dark nights
Bad dreams and grudges tough?
Why live like fighting knights
With violence and edges rough?
...
