"Garuda: The Eternal Sentinel" by Pragyan Parui
Garuda soars on wings of flame,
The heavens tremble at his name,
With Vishnu's will, his path is clear,
A force that none on earth can steer.
His feathers gleam like dawn's first light,
No serpent lives beyond his sight,
He strikes with thunder, swift and bold,
The keeper of the Nectar's gold.
Through cosmic winds, his flight is vast,
A bridge where time and space are cast,
He carries gods through realms unknown,
The skies his throne, the stars his own.
No demon stands before his might,
In shadowed realms, he brings the light,
A symbol pure of truth and law,
In every breath, the world in awe.
His talons grip the fate of kings,
The winds obey his mighty wings,
With every beat, creation sways,
The guardian of eternal ways.
In ancient chants, his name resounds,
A power where no limit bounds,
He flies beyond both life and death,
The universe within his breath.
So through the ages, he shall fly,
Untouched by time or earth-bound tie,
Garuda, bold forever free,
The timeless lord of sky and sea.
