a clean day
the world goes on
in its usual way
Its early summer. Going by the season, Spring is bygone or at best merging gradually into the desultory lull of sunny siestas. Soon the blazing sun will proclaim its monarchy with a blinding ferocity that will be stunning in its gorgeousness and calamitous in its devastation.
It is said that Spring is in the mind. To overcome the trauma of a grievous end, the abundance of greenery can be sublimated into a way of living where thoughts will not be perpetually intimidated by the finality of a recession…..of an ephemeral avalanche of rejuvenation or the paralyzing fear of approaching decay.
Yet we err as humans and wish to imprison the grains of pleasurable times in capsules of immortality or prolong the trickling of the sands of memorable moments through the inescapable slits within clutched fists fighting the eternal evasion of progression.
As seasons follow seasons we are deluded by a sense of forward movement……where we lack is our inability to realize that at times we are stilled in our onward journey lagging behind in evolving with the passage of time.
………spring
in her balcony
a riot of green
Again why are we so infatuated by the idea of beauty….of novelty ….of a fresh beginning? Isn’t it just a flow……a never ending course towards unimaginable discoveries? From soothing to scorching to shedding …..revolving within a cyclic procession of no start-ups and no give-ups….just an well-guided order by which the prevailing arrangements of the cosmos are kept intact without the insecurity of toppling over upside down!!
bunch of leaves
I breathe in deep
the morning mist
cacti blooms
I sniff for fragrance
but in vain
patches on leaves
a stormy evening
leaves its marks
The storms of the past shall always blemish the present and shape the tomorrows in its turbulent hues yet…..
goodbye to spring
in her balcony
shadows shrink
These short verses are too good and I just ❤ the cute doggie near a plant pot in the last pic! ❤ ❤
