*** A RESURRECTION!
When a gentle spark ignites a raging forest fire,
The monsoon rains quenches its flaming thirst
entire!
But the riot of colors which the rains help to spill
around,
When nature is set a blaze, and in yellow, red and
crimson abound,
Even the rains fail to extinguish such a raging blaze!
Till Autumn comes in stealth to consume and erase,
But that too - is only a passing phase!
And who can bring back the rosy tinge on Nature’s
withered cheeks?
One must wait for the arrival of the season’s king –
Spring!
To breathe life once more making the flowers to
bloom,
Whose intoxicating fragrance makes the honey bees
swoon,
For nature has regenerated itself once more!
And like the faded blossoms we must make way,
For fresh flowers to usher in a brighter day!
