Victory and Melancholy

by Sejal Tayal

One of many
Fought against the biggest melancholy.

Defeated and lost
She never made her way back at all.

Many went in
To bring her back out,

Fighting it together just as she once did
With valour; the prophecy fulfilled.

Darkness surrounded their very being
Until light shone from within their beings.

Soon they brought back their own
To her old home.

People surround the one
Thanking her for keeping safe their loved ones.

As she looks upon the sky
The melancholy can only fly.

Victory bells fill the air
It has been their prayer.
