A sudden gleam appeared, as I wandered in vain, Feeling like solitude, a cool breeze stirred in the quiet air, As the tides rise and fall, I endure like a beacon of light, Trapped in silence, the bird longs for the sky, I yearn to fly, Each bud that blooms whispers a promise, a hope reborn in every petal's grace, As the night grows deeper, moon beams brightly with a gentle smile, With every step I take, I carry the spirit of resilience… Angel Mary born in Kasaragod, Kerala is a dedicated poet with a deep passion for capturing the beauty of nature and the power of hope through her words.

In the hush of twilight’s golden hue, lie whispers of words I never knew. Laughter unsung, tears unseen, stories lost in the space between. A hand half-raised, a glance held back, a love unspoken in the silent track. Smiles that trembled, afraid to stay, like fireflies lost in the break of day. The letters I wrote but never sent, folded in corners where memories went. Promises drowned in the weight of pride, hearts that knocked but stayed outside. In the hush of the quiet night, echoes of the unsaid burn so bright. For what was silent was never gone, it hums in the heart, it lingers on.

Like many 90s kids, I did my schooling under the state syllabus (Malayalam medium), and I struggled with language barriers. I began writing du...
