Nature Gives, Nature Takes

Perched atop the leaf on which it was birthed

Apres Le Deluge

It started slow.

Summer skies, dry season.
A few drops.
Leading to a drizzle.
And then a downpour.

PATHOS (RADHA’S LAMENT)

Swallows soaring in cerulean skies
Butterflies flitting hither thither
Glorious, invigorating summer sun

Christmases white with carpets of snow
The ensconsing warmth of the hearth
Snowflakes wafting slowly down

Majestic thunderstorms, multihued arcs
