We present his awesome poem Shattered, Yet Unbreakable… We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji, who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages for sharing this classic poem.
☆
A whispered breath could shatter me,
So fractured, fragile, I’m barely free
Yet in the shards of my shattered soul,
Lies the essence of me, forever whole…
*
Though fragmented, I elude the capture,
slipping through your clinching grasp,
My mystic all-encompassing expanse,
remains untamable that defies any clasp
*
No bounds can ever hold, my essence,
It remains carefree and forever wild,
No chain can ever shackle it or tamed,
My spirit is free, like a playful child..!
