The Essence of Spring

 

- by Pratyush Parashar Das 

As the fragrance of Spring pervades my sense of being,

It feels like a new reality that my Soul is experiencing,

With the brilliant red hues heralding the evening when all living things must rest,

A sight it is so brilliant, to witness it I must indeed be blest,

Cuckoos call around me as they go home to roost,

As the melodious sounds intertwine to give my heart a happy boost

And so it is that I make merry and experience the essence of Nature's Love,

Which is no less beautiful than a chest of treasure, and purer than a white dove
