"My India" poem by Besu Selly

 

The roads produce dust 

which contains untold stories. 

The rivers carry ancient commitments 

which extend their reach. 

The Himalayas rise 

above all other mountains.

The oceans serve as a realm 

where people chase their infinite aspirations. 

The land contains sacred spaces 

which people express through their various languages. 

The land provides freedom 

to both young people and elderly citizens.

The same cry emerges from every heartbeat. 

My India exists as my India will achieve success. 

The nation shows its power 

through its waving flags and the bravery demonstrated by its soldiers. 

Our identity remains intact through our battles 

and the wounds we bear. 

India advances toward enlightenment 

by overcoming challenges 

and enduring hardships. 

The united hopes of one billion people 

share the same sky. 

My India remains forever powerful 

which brings me great pride.

Author Besu Selly 

I am Selly Besu, a poet and a civil engineering student who pours pieces of my early years into every line I write. My life journey contains three main elements which include my hidden battles, my minor successes, and my ongoing belief that magic exists. Through poetry I use words to transform my emotions and my memories and my untold stories into healing powers which create strength. I am author of the book "Silent Screams and Feeding Echoes".

In my book "Silent Screams and Feeding Echoes" I examine how people experience their internal struggles while showing their ability to recover from difficulties. The child I used to be continues to lead me through life because he showed me how gentle people possess their own form of power. I want my artistic development to empower people through my writing which will create uplifting experiences that bring back their childhood memories while they maintain their pure nature.
