Clouded Sky Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Bon Voyage, dear friend,
On your long journey
Round the world
In a prickly pink dress!

You waited a hundred years
To send a strong reminder
Of how you still reign super
Over the reckless human race

Chastening leaders,
Smashing borders
You march victorious
Over the rich and poor

Across a world in distress
Angels of life in overalls
Bend with concerned faces
Over people in your hold

Sheltered in place, I watch
The dance of Nataraja
With His third eye open,
And wonder about my fate!
