Kaustav Ghosh
One journey ended, but from its ashes a stronger path rose.
They tried to destroy me by casting me into a tormented ocean,
hoping the storm would do what they could not.
But I was not forged in calm waters —
I was carved in storms older than their courage.
I do not drown. I do not break.
I do not sink.
I become the force the ocean itself remembers.
But darkness does not frighten me — it forms me.
I rise from places meant to break me,
carrying a fire that no storm can extinguish.
What they thought would end me…
has become the reason I return unstoppable.
From the depths where they wished for my end,
I rose — not surviving,
but becoming something they can no longer name…
and can never defeat.
