“Unveiling the Tapestry of Existence: Ananya S. Guha’s Poignant Exploration of Lives”
In a world where the sun’s embers fade into forgotten tales, the vivid dance of wild rabbits and the poignant retreat of sad-looking deer paint a striking picture of nature’s delicate balance. The haunting lines of this poem tug at the heartstrings, weaving a narrative that challenges us to reflect—what, indeed, is the value of life when juxtaposed with greed and human folly? As we meander through the sanctuary that should be a haven for wildlife, the looming shadow of poachers whispers a chilling reminder of our impact. This work doesn’t just lament the loss; it compels us to confront our own place in this ecosystem. Are we mere spectators or active participants in this heartbreaking saga? Join me as we delve deeper into this poignant exploration of existence and morality in the wild—will our collective guilt inspire change, or will it remain just an echo in the wind? LEARN MORE.
Nothing has happened ever since
the first embers of the sun
reduced to ashes, misshapen
animals pranced around
unaware of grotesque features, wildly rabbits danced, the wildlife
sanctuary nearer home
bristled with poachers
even as the sad-looking deer
withdrew into a shell, mingled with the habitat
human beings only prowled
around, and guilt hung on the wind helpless, grief in sin
who lives now, bird animal man
mammal, the elephant’s tusk is precious, more dear
than ordinary humdrum lives.
