Give it up indulgent Sun, you've parched the land aplenty. The mountains beyond pull their misty curtains tight and a million greens dance in glee. You've been harsh but Mercy's time has come. Retreat. Desist. You're undone. Hear the Thunder roll - heed its word. Even Lightning streaks its say. The Clouds have broken their pregnant pause... how long would you bind them away? Ah! The joy of sun-kissed trees, that flash of gold in grey when the clouds part just to let you in so your presence still holds sway... If only you knew your place in time your glory could still reign. Alas! You lost your plot today - Depart. Stay sublime. The mountains crave a drink of life. Begone and let them be. The rain is come and the land is numb... in relief, in respite and peace. It's kept its promise to its lot. It's kept the Earth here green. The Sky will testify to your ills, the Winds will heave a sigh. No thanks to you, the soil will sing
First posted in 2016. Does a fish catch cold? Can a Sun ray turn to gold? What if the sky turned green and stalks grew inside the bean? Where do all the colours go when the lights are out and candles blow? Who made the smile, ma? And why does it tickle so? How do you know my bruise will heal? Kiss it better, seal the deal. Why is a cuddle the best of all? When will the kitten call? Will the Sun always shine so bright so every misty morning turns out right? Tell me what is yet to come Let me in on the fun. My curious mind will always seek and keep me young and on a peak. My wings will always stand to fly down valleys lush, up endless sky. Because that's what you taught me, ma. To be, to live, to ever see. So my heart is warm and mind is free. Happy Childrens' Day :-)
