–
Like autumn leaves my words are shredded
into the oblivious basket of doleful cracked souls.
I rise once again, hoping for a falling star and collecting its
reminiscence into my insipid hair,
only to emboss the flaws and flourish with my insecurities.
Rise and heal.

autumn leaves
red and gold
they tumble down
like exhausted
butterflies
from the trees
they spiral down
lazily and
haphazardly
untroubled
by the breeze
they tumble down
mostly aimlessly
like a Flamenco
dancer bowing
to the ground
in curtsy
I have no doubt you
will rise
and heal
and flourish Devika.
You have shown continuous
bravery, hope, and strength
in your writing and life.
I expect you will get everything
that you seek in life…
Of this I am certain.

You write exceptionally well now Devika, but will get even better with time.
Imagine where you will in 2 years.
