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?
