MAYA-An Enigma lost


In the depths of Tadoba, 
where shadows sway,
once lived Maya,
the Tigeress, in a mystical way. 
There was an silent under tone through the forest,
As she graced with majestic stripes, 
she Ruled the land, morning and night, 
especially the moonlit jungle, 
indeed a breathtaking sight. 

But fate, may you say? 
or a merciless hunter?
had its own course, 
And took Maya's spirit, with a force. 

Her spirit still dances as a gentle breeze,
amidst the lush greenery, 
where she once roamed and reigned,
there lies a story of her courage, 
a tale to be told. 

Through her amber eyes, the forest wept, 
for Maya's journey, 
in the wilderness suddenly snapped!

Her roars echo through the rustling leaves,
For every paw print left in the dust,
Carries the betrayal of a tiger's trust.

But in the tranquility of Tadoba's sigh, Maya's spirit soars, 
refusing to die. 
In the glow of twilight, 
her memory burns bright, 
Maya lives on, in the wild.
