A storm rages in a voice, dispelling tranquillity. Aparajita, the poet, seeks peace and harmony in her Muse. Here’s a poem that moves from despair to hope, in Different Truths.

Just a voice

And the Herculean storm

Hides in air.

The scrapped beats now

Cool in the harmonica.

There’s a break in the meditation,

A little apostrophe in the

The desperation of the poet.

The truce reminds her,

The role of the muse.

An epic role

Which could have altered

The long narrative of

Prologue

And insert a lyric,

The ebullient, personal lyric

Crying in the symphony

Of longing,

Allaying

Soothing

Before the voice united.
