Breaking news
appearing on media
especially visual media
are sometimes
worth enjoying
sometimes shocking
interesting, surprising or embarrassing.
Like a child playing
pranks on his/her
parents, siblings or friends
in these times
nature too plays
pranks on us
pleasure, sadness,
wonder or shock.
Seasons – spring,
winter
autumn
summer
visit us untimely.
Two years ago
spring paid a visit across our land
vast fields of jasmines bloomed
fragrance spread all around
we got drunk with the beauty and scent of
jasmine blooms.
It was an occasion
for celebration across our land
since the arrival of spring season
was on an unexpected time
wonderful time for all of us.
The euphoria
but came to an abrupt stop
sending sadness, shockwaves and despair
down our spines.
Spring gave way to
scorching summer
forcing the flowers of
delight fade away and
fall on earth.
It is the same story again.
Whither vanished
the infinite fields of jasmines?
