Illustration by Émile BertrandA Poem for Susan Jarvis Bryant: ‘The Fairy Godmother’ by Satyananda Sarangi The Society October 2, 2023 Beauty, Poetry 12 Comments . The Fairy Godmother for Susan Jarvis Bryant The fairy sings so far away and lifts My spirit, day by day through fading light; With every word well measured, clear inspite Of distance, space and time. The season shifts Along with changing faces; yet her voice Remains the same, now deeply etched within To flow with blood below my hardened skin; Thus God may leave to man no chance nor choice Yet send forth faith and warmth in unknown forms To hold in equipoise, the lurking storms. . . Satyananda Sarangi is a young civil servant by profession. A graduate in electrical engineering from IGIT Sarang, his works have featured in the Society of Classical Poets, Shot Glass Journal, Snakeskin, WestWard Quarterly, Sparks of Calliope, Page & Spine, Glass: Facets of Poetry, The GreenSilk Journal and elsewhere.
