Welcoming Spring

Here the dews which settled idly on paddy leaves

seem to have returned back to the distant skies,

A butterfly, anxious to gather nectar from a blooming

bed of flowers danced to the morning ragas,

A bottle of honey gathered by the bee was distibuted

around her household, the sweetness made their tender

wings to ripple in ecstatic enjoyment.

There the plants opened their hands, 

Unfolding their might,

As they woke up from deep slumber, 

Like an escaped yawn a wind blew upon the Earth, 

Her gentle children fed their face against the yawn, 

Themselves humming a tune of joy.

And then the Sun threw her silken blanket of warmth,

Underneath which the bustle of love exploded 

into fragrances of delight.

Suddenly, the valleys echoed, a visitor dressed in floral

medleys have neared, he shall plant life on these fertile fields.
