Cascade of poems and Rivulets of fiction

Sketch by Ankita,a student of Class VII Wounded, crouched inward, Eyes half closed, A breath; an effort as difficult as climbing up a mountain, Unable to move, Flight to freedom, Crushed by a scavenger, When asleep nestled  in the comfort of nest, Listless were the limbs, Lying on a window sill, Waiting for death, To be relieved  From excruciating pain, Flowing through  every sinew of the body, A girl tiptoed, Cry of dismay, In haste is she! Wrapped him up with cotton wool, Drops of water into his mouth , Ceaseless effort to keep him alive , Sleeping hours, Nourished with milk, Touch that healed, Promising safe heaven, Opened eyes to find, Sparkling eager eyes, Manifesting exuberance ,  'Ma, Baburam is awake' A song to his ears, 'Baburam, Baburam...' A new found nest, Yet unfamiliar, Blinking his eyes, To rebuff the intense light, Humbling the darkness outside, Three heads laughing in delight, Tireless effort...

Standing tall, Against Hibiscus, Wonders Sun, How long will I survive, If Hibiscus die, The heat I generate will be futile, Whom to nurture, With my warmth, Whom to enlighten, With my light, Strength will be obscure, Darkness will prevail, Obliterating Vision, To define the horizon, My meeting point, With water; my soul, To hold the Universe intact, With forces undefined, I cry and cry, With resonating OM, To be heard, To be re-discovered, to thrive.

Sunrays pale, Clouds resonate, Wind blows, Summons the rain to follow, Wavering are the leaflets of neem , In frenzy, raindrops leave their surface, On the canopy of Korobi, Pink florets of which shake in tandem, With the bursting crimson of hibiscus, An ecstatic calmness evolves, Surrender to the surroundings, A sound I perceive, Humming in consonance with the self, A talk begins, Search and search, The truth behind existence, A life transcending sufferings, Quest of which begins in silence, In the process of initiation, A seeker; who am I? What purpose do I fulfill….

Red planet I am, It was not so, a million years ago, I was as beautiful as the Earth, The blue planet inundated with sea green hue; life blossoming under water and on land, I am jealous. I am denuded and dry, The mountains bear,  The remnants of  fresh water lakes, Life was about to evolve, My joy knew no bounds, An explosion from no where, I saw red far and wide. I am barely alive, Following habitual pattern, Revolving around the Sun. My eyes sparkle, Whenever I am closer to the Earth, Devouring snow capped mountains,  rivers, freshwater lakes and greenery What I could never understand   was the dynamics of motion? Until I encountered,  A meteor flying towards me, I supposed,  The end was inevitable, To my wonder, It was revolving around me, I could feel,  The waves revitalizing every element, With the passing of time, Many more were encircling me, Made me think,...
