Orange sheen

-

Sun spread its orange sheen

Flowers blossomed into beauty unseen

Time and harsh rays faded it out

Filtering out only shadows

Tall, dark and ominous

From dawn it’s almost dusk

Feet are still on the go

Ignoring the thorns,

Trying to inhale the imaginary musk

Intermittent mirages of spring

Played hide and seek

Leaving the heart weak

Then again Sun spread its orange sheen

Only to disappear into depths unseen….

Nature - My childhood friend

This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I l...
