Earth Melodies: Snigdha Agrawal

Snigdha Agrawal

Whispering Stones

In the stillness of dawn,

granite sighs beneath the frost,

each crack a story untold,

echoes of ancient tides,

a language of time,

waiting for ears attuned to listen,

to the heartbeats of mountains

folded from sedimentary rocks

all lost…

drowned by voices, disharmonic!

***

Wind’s Secret Dance

Through the branches,

the wind carries laughter,

soft and elusive,

a melody woven in rustling leaves,

the pulse of air

wrapped in silence,

calling out to those

who forget to pause,

to feel the rhythm of the world

as it sways…

with unseen grace!

***

Subterranean Symphony

Beneath our feet,

roots intertwine in quiet accord,

a symphony of life,

tapping into the deep earth,

whispers of fungi,

the heartbeat of decay,

waiting for a moment

when we lift our gaze

from concrete skies,

to embrace the resonance of being,

hidden…

yet profoundly alive!
