Parched earth sighs for rain

Black beauties shake off droplets

Fresh greenery sprouts

SILENCE

From the blue shadowy Himalayas

You came and held out your arms

So that I might reach you

You were breathing peace

Time stood still, so was the inner me

All waves, bubbles and frothy thoughts ceased

You seized me and I was engulfed in you

Was thy magic touch the ‘manna dew’?

I saw, touched and tasted it

But that was a long time ago………………………………

Now all colors have faded

Lotus buds with black and white petals

Open and close mechanically

Words with razor’s edge

Wait and secretly lie for me

Storm rages within me and no sunshine in sight

I shall drag on like this for how long I know not

But I live in the hope of seeing you my old friend

As darkness, slowly rolling and engulfing me forever.

 Prompt  :  #382 - Path 

 

PATH

What is a path?

 Lets you move on 

Pray where?

To destination

What is it like?

Ebb and flow tide

Can it be seen?

With inherent light

Is it safe to be out?

If there is no doubt

A Nursery Rhyme

 

Pitter patter pitter patter

Words dropping without clatter

Parched hearts turning green

Bearing fruits labor seen

Careful nurture……….. time smiles

Prepares grill and thousand eyes

Poesy ready taking wings

Alights on hearts and makes them sing.
