In the Island Kingdom

It was a journey Sitha had long dreamt of.

- Meera Nair

To the edge of nowhere.

She stood alone, upright, body facing the ocean, Arms stretched out and head turned towards the sky.

All she felt was the brush of his fingers against hers, And then she was in the flying chariot Crossing the deep ocean and the blue skies.

Sitha surveyed her new habitat.

She savoured the new found freedom within the confines of the Ashoka Vana And as she awaited his arrival, he came.

Ravana peeped over the towering wall And Sitha called out a cheerful hello.

There was no reply.

Sitha heard the clanging noise of his many crowns As they hit against each other as Ravana fled.

She smiled to herself.
