"Leaving a bitter taste in my mouth,
we part ways into the world,
somehow synchronized.
This place that leaves leaves to blow in the wind."

As Prachya Review embraces the theme of green—symbolizing growth and renewal—the selected poems, stories, and artworks vividly capture this motif. The story tells a journey from grief to renewal that parallels spring's arrival, embodying life's rejuvenation. Flash fictions explore themes of love, possibility, personal growth, and confidence, each promising new beginnings in sync with spring. The poems reflect on loss, love, death, struggle, and trauma- all intertwined with nature's cycle. Artworks convey profound messages, emphasizing that art speaks volumes even without words.

These pieces celebrate green's significance in fostering physical, mental, and spiritual growth. Just as spring revitalizes the natural world, these narratives inspire readers to embrace their own journeys of healing and transformation, echoing the lush, renewing essence of green.

like a mother suckled till her rivers turn to ravines, her snowy tresses
a sliver contouring her bare head, her green girdle
shorn to stone and dirt, bereft of birds."

"In each house of sorrow
only the dream remains awake,
all the rest
of the shadows!
Despite the fact—arms aren’t people,
Despite that—land isn’t freedom!

People floated from memory!"

"A fire is lit and our fast broken,
my love washing

eyes as black as midnight,
as blue as a lily,
as green as the sea,
the light always changing,
this world another world,
this moment every moment
that ever came into fruition." Bruce McRae

That everything has its season,
and all that is necessary is
the patience. Enduring."
