Shower

Laburnum

Yellow.

Laburnum in blooms;

Bunches of delightful bright.

Yellow.

Leaves turned pale;

Scatters of waning beauty.

Yellow.

Shreds of living and dead shed;

In a soothing summer shower.

Pattern

patterns

Flustered not, she fluttered;

A minute on my watch ticked…

Fight not, flight arrested;

A pattern I traced as my watch ticked…

Tried hard, tired by then,

She stilled and I took over;

The window that lay ajar

Opened to the evening sun…

She fluttered and flustered I stood

A minute on my watch ticked…

She fought, and gained flight;

A pattern I traced as she found her way.

Tried till then, tired not yet,

The words swirl emotions

And minutes on my watch ticked

As patterns I chased fervently

Unknown to me minutes ago;

Life I see differently…

Enshrined…

Enshrine

Falling to a pulp on the floor

Heard the voices many;

The bliss was intoxicating….

Displaced she felt as she rouse;

Confusion written

On the faces that peered.

But one familiar face

Lifted her hand

And to that smile, she relaxed.

Not yet, she heard

And sprung to rise –

The only rhythm

Her heartbeat.

Those few minutes?

The mystery enshrined….
