Nature brings the message of Devi Durga’s arrival even before the Goddess starts her journey. We dance in joy long before Maa Durga steps on Earth. Writer Priyanka Bhuiya speaks for all of us when she expresses how Durga Puja is not just a festival, but a Profound Emotion. And we at Clips and Pages are proud to present her poem.
Profound Emotion
Scattered with wispy white soft cloud,
The Autumn sky, a profusion of blue;
The smell of Nyctanthes wafting in the air,
The ubiquitous sight of pervasive catkins,
That abundance of white against green,
Indelible beauty put on display by nature;
The air is filled with joy by Her approaching,
The time of coming back, returning home.
Religious tradition without discrimination,
Heartily worshipping the divine idol,
Hearing the music of the dhaakis,
Beat of drums mixed with nostalgic frenzy,
The gracious Goddess is on her throne;
Symbolizing the victory of good over evil,
Neither a festival, nor a mere custom,
Durga puja is an emotion, a profound sensation.
