canopies of leaves
reaching out to share a touch,
maybe, share a story,
filtering light through,
offering shade,
ushering life
As much as this picture jolted me to jot down a couple of verses, my lines couldn’t do justice to the picturesque view that sprinkled a sense of serenity in me. This park we visited last month was such a treat for the soul.

The petals of dandelions appear delicate yet they are so fearless to blatantly show their beauty. It’s not fragile, or vulnerable in a negative sense.
Getting to show off their uniqueness – the fragility, the vulnerability, the ability to free itself from the flower and wander off slowly, elegantly and settle somewhere unfamiliar – isn’t that stunningly brave? Isn’t that simply incredible?
To be not afraid of your own vulnerability, instead flaunt it and mesmerize everyone in the vicinity by simply being you?
Isn’t that what beauty is all about?

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
― John Muir
on a long winding road
I saw trees embroidered with multicolor leaves
atop the mountain they looked like little bushes casually thrown all over
each different view as brilliant as the next
isn’t nature an amazing artist?

the way ahead was covered in darkness
I’m certain I was lost
there was no light
no hand reached out to guide me
no quotes shined in my mind’s eye
nothing but plain darkness engulfed where I am rooted!
a little later, I saw shadows
it made me jump
the unexpected movement
but, if shadows appear there has to be light
a slight tinge of light, perhaps,
a tiny ray spilled from some distant source of light
without knowing that it is actually swaddling me in a blanket of hope,
this blanket of hope might appear so feeble,
but in a moment so fragile and dark, this frail coat of hope grew my courage
and I held on,
without giving up
and intact stood my frail hope
then appeared the lush green
the shadows disappeared in to greenery all around me
the gentle breeze played with the plants,
leaves softly fell whispering greetings to me
the frail hope now blown into a stream of calm
the scary darkness bloomed into a ripple of peace
and disintegrated my nightmare
letting a new dream emerge!

the splash of color
sprinkling smiles on faces
the allure of blooms
dousing hearts with joy
the vibrancy of the nature
nourishing the soul

“But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”
― Albert Camus
the world is the oasis
to grow or wither
for a seed, a sapling, or a tree
today, I’m a lucky survivor
tomorrow, cast a shade for some, perhaps!

Hello, said a piece of memory I ignored.
It flashed again,
and again,
until I was burned
inside out.
Hello, said a piece of memory I wished to ignore!

What mystery my mind holds!
Yet another piece of submission rejected
And here my mind is coming up with another piece to submit!
Sometimes I feel, my mind thrives in rejection
What a mystery this mind is!

every autumn leaf leaves behind a tale that began on a spring morning,
every spring bloom graces the garden aware of the impending fall in autumn.
at the end of the dusk,
there awaits a beautiful dawn.
Another year is on our doorstep,
365 days it will roll out, before fading into the background.

You being here had been always my pleasure
from once upon a time when you first arrived
to now, when your presence overpower the world
I relish your presence
all I ask is to be kind and compassionate to us,
the other life forms, who can’t communicate through words.
Enjoy my shade,
adore those butterflies befriending the new blossoms
leave behind a trace of yours
without disturbing the laws of the universe,
could you, human?
