While the world celebrates this day 8th March as Women's Day ,let me sing a lore of the rise of a woman from the age old clutches and freedom in which she soars breaking the pinions that imprisoned her mind,body and soul... to create a niche of herself in this universe , when she rises from the fire of struggles , like a phoenix. It’s a dream , a simple wish neither jewels fancy me nor the glitter of being rich… as a tiny colourful bird, I want to wing my feathers spreading in the open air to hover over the colourless ocean… Clipped , chained, I lay in tethers in the dark abyss The dust of nostalgia suffocates my nostrils… From ages , restrained I am crumpled like a rose ,petals crushed, Oh! Who doth seen , The blood that oozes When Iam strangled within my shelter… Buried beneath the fire ablaze Watch the smoke moving high kisses the clouds white… I await…to be born again.. from the ashes of the pyre… Like a phoenix ..of modern times. HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU! ---Soumya
