Daughter of the Wind Anilaja Reddy

As I allow my being to permeate various organic elements, Daughter of the Wind evolves into a collection of short poems depicting my reach into the core of flora and fauna of our planet. I pause to reflect as I allow the same sea that caresses the shore to drown me under it, to carry my vessel to acknowledge my brothers nesting behind corals in its dark corners. I linger around long enough for the void to grab hold of me and push me into an ethereal creature that humans have only heard of in stories. Pulled and torn by different creations across continents, I am forced to feel a taste of their emotions. I finally surrender into a tamed ego, as my soul shocks me back into my reality to present you a plethora of the human condition
