Summer...

the sun's intense touch
has a hard baking effect
upon the landscape

Autumn/Fall...

golden leaf tresses
festooned down the aspen's
majestic grey trunk

Winter...

night's gelid air flow
foretells of a blanket frost
covering morn's ground

Spring...

she'll be dressed in
a lively floral garment
effulgent of hues
Death stands at
The broken door
At despair
None to repair

Life stands still
Up the hill
Lonely the breeze
Plays at its will

To sway
And move along
The winds of change
At every bend

Stands the door
Repaired hinged
And life moves on
Clear, distilled
In the open as I walk , upon the pastures green ,
Paused ! I daze by the transmute of hues that delightfully glean.

A kaleidoscope of fluttering beauties , complete the bewitching frame.
Happiness is pretty simple to obtain ,
Stare ! my friend at the butterflies and you shall utter the same !

Simple Rhyming verse,a passing thought after I have always ,always been amazed at the beauty of the butterflies...such an attractive insect !
Butterflies can't see their wings and how beautiful they are but other can !
Withering of hearts and ruined minds ,
moment's notice and a despondent life ,
future at stake unclear, unclean,
harsh is nature's fury scene.
emanating from unprecedented zones .
Incessant memories of how life is being unkind .
Am I paying a hefty price for my deeds ?

Fragile life compelled to choose a course,
hopelessly looked for rainbows between the blows,
Uncertain and unfair fate awaited .
playing a tug of war life game,
Compromise to get what neither wanted,
win or lose will mean the same.

Doomsday for certain arrived,
shattered the illusion of millions and forced them onto their feet.
shuddering and frightened they took the dreaded path ,
in hope of meeting their kith and kin,
making it look more like a sin.
with no penny , no food ,nothing looking any good,
the shrill ,the yell,
in deep pain every heart will swell.
Yet every obstacle they tried to pass, ferric trails leading them to their final destination,
this but a meagre solution .

Long hours,rough terrains, unmapped,zapped they simply marched.
Unseen powerful blows and many a lives rip apart,
tear wrapped as they parched .

Destiny choose to be aloof,
they scattered throughout for food and roof.
Alas ! Hunger turned the human a wayfarer and costed a soul.
Life turned upside down,
from laughter to distress ,
spreading havoc and creating mess.
future now bleek , steering into a deep sleep.

Speechless I am and will forever be,
Life's burden is taken away
but by death alone !
A journey into the unknown.

"Marching Millions" the tittle of the poem is sourced from the blog by eminent Indian writer Shobha de published in the Times of India newspaper recently..The content of the blog is the inspiration for the poetic version .

Feelings in these unique times are vulnerable to horrific events , one such of course is the case of Migrant workers all over India.
The Migrant workers crisis is definitely one of the worst sena
rios in the COVID 19 pandemic and underlines the poor state of affairs in managing the same .
Pray that their next life is blessed and cushioned away from life's harsh assaults.
This one goes as a tribute to many a migrant workers lives lost in their journeys back home .

Hope Spring is Eternal !
In the clouded mind the enlightenment is for real.

Oh! my beautiful Lily bloom ,
I pray , you carry away the
gloom .
A swarm of bees ,
gush of breeze , in your beauty they freeze .

Each day as you embellish in red , yellow and white
The sun stands guard all day , shining and bright .
When night lanterns glow softly in the darkness of the sky ,
The moon gleams for you all night .

Blossom as a source of Hope and delight !
Oh dear "Flower Of Light".

Spring season to me is full of blissful days and hope with fun-filled childhood memories too.. , blossom by blossom spring always radiates happiness and
the LILLIES in particular are a complete eye candy .. the symbolic and spiritual meanings add another dimension to their importance ,also  called the flower of light (made popular by poet Ben Jonson in his poem " Have You Seen But A Bright Lily Grow".)

#Symbolic poem#
The flaming smiles of the yellow lotus , in my garden you bloom from endless knots of adversity and gloom!

You are a testimonial to
Where flowers grow so does hope , glistening in the brightest rays ,
I see peace , purity and perfection in the immenent days ,
You show me a positive path in many a beautiful ways!

Seeking your rendition to my very being ,
Oh! my divine, yellow lotus emerging from mire and mud,
Showering blessings from your octave golden joist ,
My heart is rejuvenated and I rejoice !

The beauty and the purity of a lotus flower is simply unbelievable...it is powerful, magnificent and pure all at once.
My garden blooms with the same and I get a positive vibe.

Everyday river meets the vast ocean , carrying on the process relentlessly as a unforgettable session .
One day the ocean asks river a question,
"How long my compadre will you come and meet me" ?
River responds without hesitation ;
"Up until the time I don't see you my soulmate as a sweetness filled solution" !
