The Vanishing Glory
The Vanishing Glory
Are you hidden,
In the blushing lips of
The half dreaming,
Half smiling flowers…
As the source of
Their fragrant murmur,
Which melts my mornings
Into a sudden wonder
Of drizzling joy
Or are you dancing..
As a smiling ripple
Across the face of
A sleeping pond
Which tickles
The red lotus
Perched upon its heart
Into a timeless musical shiver?
Tell me, how can you ever
Vanish from my life
If fragrance of your breath
Sings an eternal duet with
The fugitive summer breeze
And a lone intense tear
Shed by the smile in your eyes
Into the silent depths
Of a pre-monsoon night
Kissing the thirsty dreams
Of a parched summer soil
Into a lush green poem?
