O dear sky, do you hide a beautiful heaven behind your Nimbus frills?
Or in the hoods of your blue, black and orange cloaks?
O You starry beauty! You make poets of the common man, and make the paint brush dance
I love the rainbow tiara that you often wear,
The Picturesque view of colourful kites embracing you and birds playing in your arms
The Sun and You make quite a pair together,
and yet you ditch it to go dark and make your diamonds sparkle.
You are an enchantress who casts a spell on the sea
For whenever you wear the full Moon, the spellbound tides raise themselves as if yearning to inch closer to you
Lady, please take care when we, the people on earth, send smoke and dust your way.
For there are some that like you grey.
Oh my flawless muse, I wish you drew a polar bear for me on your canvass tonight
Or maybe had let gone of a star so that I could make a wish
But alas! the oil lamp is flickering, signalling me to put my pen to rest,
slumber beckons me and I shall oblige
But you be there, we shall meet again on the other side of the night.
-Devjani Majumdar
