Life goes on

 #DailyFlowers

As I sit beside the window contemplating life, time seems to stand still for an infinitesimal moment, as if something compels it to do so and yet I know time never stands still. It is eternal, ever-moving, ever changing. And I know I must write, not just for the many blooms that await their day of glory, but also for myself lest I get caught in the sands of sorrow & loss. The frames have been readied, but whither the lines, whither the rhymes...

 

A look at the frames did a tweet forth bring
That of yellows one day this blog must sing
For Amit, Suby, Ranjona, and many more
For yellows should be writ a merry score
Well, let's to yellows wave a cheery hail
That they always will knit interesting tales
That in the vast spreading of its hues
It will encompass all, many & a few

If yellows have their songs can pinks fall out of line
They are a color that always does shine
On buds, blooms & even leaves
In bunches, bouquets on stems, in sheaves

'Tis also the time for Roses in India to glow
Year after year they put on a stunning show
In shades surprisingly strong
Blushing or beaming they can never go wrong

Wondrous blooms did two contributors share
They further elevated the post's fare
Nature's palette lovingly arrayed
Her specialties astonishingly displayed

The common and uncommon are so filled with power
Their beauty does their plants empower
Maroon blended with orange and yellow
And pristine white enriching the flow

Blooms, glorious blooms as far as the eye can see
A multitude of colors, vibrant, bright and free
Collected and shared with so much love
Lifting hearts & minds, covering with a healing glove

Preening Flowers

#DailyFlowers

 

 I thought long and hard whether I should write this post, whether I would be able to write this post. Till now words did me fail, rhymes, verses lines did for some unknown region set sail. The pain of the parting was just too hard. Time they say is the greatest healer, time alone will soothe pain. It is true what they say, but life cannot be simply wasted away

Life's a strange sort
Sometimes it turns you into a worrywart
At others it bustles merrily by
You can literally see time fly
Still at others a full stop it does ring
To your knees with sorrow bring
Then having served you your due
It rings in days anew
It gives you not too much time to grieve
Experiences it filters through a fine sieve
Amidst all this turmoil nature stands fast
Its ephemeral glories bloom and go past
This blog post is now much overdue
Cobwebs in the brain now must go shoo

 The pretties brought forth a sigh
Such beauty and rich colors all so nigh
Flowers in full plumage do preen
Soothing and so cheery the scenes
A balm to aching hearts
New chapters they encourage to start
Their lives they merrily live
To us so freely give 

Mums & Mums at the flower show
Grace, poise, cheer they did show
Colors so beautifully displayed
Human & blooms lovingly arrayed
Blue-purples & purpley-pinks
Each image lovingly inks
Its presence upon our minds and soul
Every time leaving us totally whole

 

'Tis the season of brilliant hues
That fill lawns, gardens & mews
While the weather does turn  cold
Flowers put forth a show to behold
So, we should tarry here a while
Enjoy the colors parading in style

 

 A baby pink blushing rose
A delicate yellow magnolia did pose
Deep red two roses did flush
Kachnar and white stars did gush
A collage from Suby did in swing
The entire frame reminiscent of spring
