The Vanishing Glory

The Vanishing Glory

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?
