Poetry by Debanjana Ghatak

Title: Through my Imaginary Wings

If I could fly high like a kite, I would have danced in the air and floated with the clouds. If I could shine like the sun, I would have enlightened the depressed hearts and wiped their tears. If I could twinkle like those little stars, I would have brought tranquility to that aching soul and poured love at every corner. If I could stretch my arms and be the tallest tree, I would have given shelter to many homeless birds and welcomed cool breeze. If I could be the most adventurous novel, I would have thrilled every bibliophile with my word play and trapped them in my maze. If I could be the strongest superhero, I would have been the chivalrous being and saved the world from every monstrous attack. If I could fall like numerous raindrops, I would have knitted romance in every lonely heart and taught them to sing. If I could be the moon and luminescence the night sky, I would have illuminated every soul and given them a prompt to write. If I could sing like nightingale, I would have turned the melancholic street into a cheerful beam with my melodious hymn. If I could smile like a flower, I would have eliminated all sorrows and motivated every cheerless soul. I know, I can neither be a star nor raindrops or the tallest tree, But, I will always fly, shine, dance and sing through my imaginary wings
