the madrigal, volume iii

Magical Land

by esha jaiswal

We live in an

Ancient land

Greeted by

A ring of fire

Calmed by

A ball of desire

Through

Ebb and flow

It dims, it glows
It quakes, it cracks

Tanned with heat

Throat parched

Caelum softens
It’s brave heart

Pampers and satiates

Part by part
Secretive, Majestic

And you say
You don’t believe
In Magic
