The Goddess and Green

In the realm of greenery around,

The logs stand with strength so loud

The serenity of the mumbling leaves

Take hold of our ears to sew the ends of peace.

In this auspicious carnival, 

To mark the day of Goddess Durga’s arrival 

Her colour of green , as it marks

The surplus vegetation even at the brink

of our country’s arc;

As the day of green signifies

The balance amidst nature’s turmoil

The sprinkles of rain on 

The green leaflets and soaked soil.

With the locusts in form of the

human endeavours,

Lets in the drought set in 

from the trees, so perennial.

With our interference that keeps the nature to slay

The Goddess also keeps the rain to delay,

Save the roots to garnish the blessing 

Or spill the bean to accept her curse as an offering.
