ruchi acharya

The national anthem of heartbreakers

echoes through Earth's magnetosphere,

akin to my unendurable emotions,

tightening my chest like a whirling cyclonic

Milky Way in an uncharted space chamber.


Why let grief consume our cosmos so grand

and lead us to dwell in celestial memoir's shade?

Let the flow of life entwine with the tranquillity

hiding under the sea rock or the bark of trees.

Close your eyes and unwind the solar wind.


Let us walk towards the dying star,

to probe the depths of space with our telescopic eyes,

blue and green, nebulas singing the songs of Valentine.

For in the face of calamity, let us embrace the starry stage

and rise above the mundane, whether deadened or alive


Guided by the Polaris.
