"She Smiled" - by Bhumika Raikote of BA Final Year

She smiled, as flowers bloomed,

Death found life anew.

Her smile, a beacon of hope,

In the scars’ dark hue.

With her smile, dry lands quenched,

Injuries found their mend.

Her smile, the last hope to thrive,

In her warmth, life found its blend.

She smiled, as magic in the dark world,

Where dreams soar, unfurled.
