Visual Verse #1

Bangalore, India. 

The deep earth colored tree trunk
Encroached upon the sky 
Against the subtle blue 
Fierce, so fierce that the warm 
Lighter shade of orange light 
From thousands of miles away
Struggled to seep through. 


The little green elves
Lay blissfully here and there
Few infinitesimally small, few tiny
Few turning green yellow
Few a crisp brown 
And few others
Racing against the January wind. 


Amidst the disorder
Shades of objects formed in the mind
Amidst the contrast of the green and brown
Orange seeped through
Amidst being immobile
The nature expresses
Unlike our unexpressed thoughts. 


Reality is the color, you may ask
Why then blank & white?
Reality is the art, I ask
Why not express the thumped down thoughts?
Reality is a short time,
Express while you can. 
For to express is to viral smiles. 


When the nature around us, expresses so much even after being immobile, why do we dwell, ponder, manipulate, cringe, draft pros and cons and remain shut? 

Express how adorable the little girl's smile is, express how freshening the coffee at the Cafe is, express how beautiful the sunset is, express how you feel about whatever finds its way to you in the grotesque universe that expands much, much beyond our imagination. 

Much love.

  1. Really well said!,
    Instead of going behind the wild pleasures in life to seek happiness, we must learn to express our love ,gratitude and kindness to our near and dear ones, and mother nature..
    We may not get anything in return from these acts of kindness, but what you will definitely get is happiness which money can't buy..
