IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LUSH GREEN

Anura Parida

 

In the middle of a lush green field, I see,

A tree standing in front of me.

The leaves are healthy and green,

Dances gracefully as the branches lean.

 

In the middle of a lush green field, I see,

Another tree halted in front of me.

Its leaves were lifeless and flawed,

The sorrow it held was surpassing over beyond.

 

In the middle of a lush green field, I see,

A sweet bird flying to the green tree.

Collecting twigs from far and wide,

To make a home where it will reside.

 

In the middle of a lush green field, I see,

A dry tree looking at the green.

Its branches so coarse I see,

Not a bird planning to reside on such a tree.

 

In the middle of a lush green field, I see,

A tree standing proudly.

As the blossoms fall gently at its feet,

For it has nothing to win or lose, indeed.

 

In the middle of a lush green field, I see,

A tree weeping silently.

A blossom flies towards it with a comforting smile,

Thus, deciding where to reside,

For it has nothing to lose, except for the floret by its side.

 

Yet again; In the middle of a lush green field, I see,

A leaf dangling at the tip of the coarse tree.

Its orange leaves which laid at its foot picked up pace,

Driven by the wind into a race.

 

In the middle of the lush green field, I see,

The green tree smiling happily.

For, now its friend was about to flee,

From its hardships and misery.

 

In the middle of a lush green field, I see,

Both the trees getting wet merrily.

The ecstatic coarse tree beamed,

For the future, it could foresee.

 

Anew, in the middle of a lush green field, I see,

Two trees swaying rapturously.

Green and healthy leaves shining brightly,

How beautiful they looked, ever so happily!

 

I am Anura Parida, a 12-year-old creative writer currently studying in the 7th grade. Ever since I can remember, words have been my closest companions, and poetry has become my heartfelt expression.

Through my writing, I explore the tapestry of emotions that color my world – from the joy of friendship to the contemplation of life's mysteries.

Besides being a writer, I am an avid reader, devouring classics and contemporary literature alike, which helps me expand my creative horizons. Art, in all its forms, holds a special place in my heart, and I enjoy sketching and painting to complement my poetic musings. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to sharing this beautiful world of creative writing with you all!

 


 

MUSIC: OUR LIFE LINE

Trishna  Sahoo

 

Music is an emotion, not just an ordinary sound ,

It shows us the path of life, even when we are drowned.

 

When we are lost on a directionless ride ,

It's always with us by our side.

 

When we are confused and in the dark,

It comes to our rescue as a spark.

 

Music never differentiates sad and happy times,

It has neither a fixed time nor a particular rhythm.

 

Nature is music  and music is nature ,

It's in the sky , on the earth and in the water .

 

If music is the ocean, lyric is the river ,

Music is our  lifeline , lyrics may differ.

 

Trishna  ( Natuni ) , a class VII student of Sai International School, Bhubaneswar, born to engineer parents and doctor grandparents, is a gifted child . A disciplined and dedicated learner, she excels as a student, family member, orator , writer and a swimmer. She is blended with traditional and cultural values,  spirituality, science and arts .A nature loving girl, she has taken reading books and traveling as her hobbies. Her favorite dish is Chicken Biryani prepared by her mother . Her motto of life is , " NEVER BE A DEFAULTER ".
