The Invitation – Delhi Poetry Slam

The Invitation

By Anwesha Bhattacharya

This world happens to be my stage,  
Where the Almighty scripted a new scene on every page,  
And I've been invited here to perform,  
An extempore, unrehearsed, my own music to strum!

And as the curtain rises for a new show,  
I wake up to a fresh, new start and bow,  
The silent onlookers, a part of the audience,  
Watch me, while to the rhythm of life, I dance!

Nature provides the perfect silhouette,  
While the earth spins with me in a pirouette,  
The sun creates shadows, long and short,  
The living world wakes up as my cohort!

I give my best shot before the curtain falls,  
Seeking another invitation, a silent inner call,  
And as the day ends, I give up my costume,  
Retreating to another world, yet again I shall bloom!
