To the Elusive Spring

A spring time has arrived in my garden

Its fragrance envelops me day in and out

My entire courtyard is flower-laden

It’s a wonderful and happy time, no doubt

It’s busy serving the bees and flies without fail

Proving that it’s arrived to entertain selflessly

Wiping the dryness that makes the garden pale

Giving company to the trees, which were lonely

I’m inhaling its charm, warmth and freshness

Filling moments of togetherness, with joy and hope

Through every waft of fragrance, it expresses -

I believe - yearning for a long ride together, non-stop…

“Be prepared, spring times pass leaving memories,”

Said momma, mind and most trusted buddy

Ya I know, this might just be another breeze,

The kinds that left me sad lessons to study

But what’s the point in thinking whether

This springtime too, will leave to the torrent

Painful lessons have made me aware

that joy can be searched only in the present moment...

Humming the tunes of happiness and joy

Let’s take a walk, dear elusive spring

Maybe you are destined to vanish as a decoy

But till then, I’d welcome the fragrance you bring...
