Violet Vale | Arka Ghosh

THE FOLLOWING POEM WAS SELECTED IN WINGWORD POETRY PRIZE 2023 LONGLIST.

In the hush of dawn, brimming with violets,

I wandered to the wild side,

Where whisper of wind told tales,

Of secret buried deep within the heart,

Of a valley untouched, untamed,

To essense pure, a silent testimony,

To natures undying vow.

As dusk descended, shadows played,

With colors fading, yet hope remained,

For in this sacred, silent space,

The soul finds, solace and love sustains.
