~Beckoning Fingers

The bygone era
The valorous PâîkaRaaj
The glorious Kalinga...
The dancings Akhdas..
Those lost golden pages...
I descend through the spiral staircase....
Into the forgotten land..
With a small lamp in my hand...
And saw...
Here a face peeped...
There a set of hands beating a drum..
And somewhere a conch sounded
Signalling the on start of a war
And a period of golden gallantry beckons...
