THE SPRING

Another advent of

spring in our country

after a gap of three

spring  seasons of drought.

The drought hit fields

with cracks developing all around

as if in a magic have disappeared

plunging us into a sublime feeling

with our jasmine fields

full of blooms

spreading scent

have spread far and wide.

The evil spirits of

wickedness and witchcrafts

suffered by the neighbouring nations

with the scent

of jasmine blooms acting

as catalysts

have been banished and erased

many a dictator from history.

Still a few

like leeches are bent upon continuing

and sucking blood

of many persist.

Still we hope against hopes

and with cautious optimism

one day the jasmine

fields bearing jasmine blooms

would spread the world over one day…..
