To Anjali

Anjali Appadurai

You are not just a name on the ballot.
You are more than that.
A flowing stream.
A shady tree.
A roaring ocean.
A breeze of fresh air.
The song of a hummingbird.
The sound of the cricket in my backyard that gives me hope of a living earth.
Your fight isn’t yours alone.
You are an embodiment of a long awaited rain on a parched land of our dreams.
