A vast ocean
sometimes wild
like a child throwing
tantrums
sometimes ferocious
like a God wanting
revenge.
Then at times
it turned quite quiet
like a sleeping
baby
Then at times
it was a sweet mystery
like the song of an
apsara.
There were times
when pain overtook
like a bittersweet
rhapsody
there were times
when misery engulfed
like a huge black
shroud.
It was utter chaos
her mind
but somehow
the silken strings
that held onto her scattered
thoughts
came together like pieces
from a jigsaw
and her hands moving
of their own accord
swept over the canvas
and painted a
masterpiece.
-Ishita Gupta
“Her hands moving of their own accord swept over the canvas and painted a masterpiece.”
