A Tree in Flower | Adreyo Sen

Hope
Unafraid of heights
Looks with the fondness
Of tenacity
Into sky-trains
Of dreams
Left to conquer.

The world’s full of promises
When the roughest wind
Is but a song
To be cajoled
Into calm good will
With the smouldering joy
Of a waltz.

Adreyo Sen, currently based in Kolkata, did his undergraduate work in English at the University of Pennsylvania and his graduate work in English and Sociology at the University of Leeds and Columbia University. He hopes to mature as a poet and writer and to one day make writing his full time vocation.
