Wildflowers: Poem by Pratiksha Nandy, Apeejay School, Kharghar 

She walks in a path untravelled

Where no footsteps wanders ever

Where the road is painted in a dusty embrace

And the trees grieve in empty silence

She glances at others

Their world glistens under the sun

Their road paved in gold

And her heart feels like crumbling irises

Her soul drenched in solitude

But this is what she’s destined for

A path which sings her name and calls for her

And so she turns around and her journey continues

One step at a time

She welcomes her road.

She’s a wildflower growing in the forests

A wildflower blooming by herself

A wildflower soaring the sky in silence but in peace
