Budding............

Sparkling shine in eyes

Soft innocent smile on face

The gentle feathery sense of touch

The ignorance of the worldly hues ----

A stage of least botherance

A stage of self satisfaction

Happy in one's own little world

Lost in one's own whim and fantasy,

The reflections of the past

Were still in my heart..

Unaware of nature's laws

I was glad to be a child !

But, lo and behold !

The reflections are gone

Only shadows left behind

Nature has enforced its laws

And acted upon me.....

New are my ways

Newer my thoughts

Strange are my likings

Never witnessed before.

My heart is winged

My mind now fleets

It takes flights of ambitions

On the wings of poessy !

The desire to rise above all

The willingness to stand apart

Whenever I step around

May spectators skip a beat of heart.

Growing love for colours

Choosy in moods and flavours

Imagination running wild

Yearning to be God's favourite child :)

A wish to do my best

To add a pinch of happiness

In this world full of odds

To spray a tint of love

To bloom a garden of roses !

May the Almighty shower blessings

May the womb that yielded me

Impart me such strength

That I leave behind marks

Even after I've tread the beach of life.

These unfamiliar desires

These passionate cravings

Compel me to ponder

Is this the season of budding.................!!!
