Spring

 - by Pratyush Parashar Das

As winter draws its brief sojourn to a close, Mother Nature slowly opens her eyes, as the petals of a beautiful rose,

The smell of wildflowers about to bloom and sweet nectar teases the air, as the world seems healed from its dreary mood, and everything is once again joyful and fair,

A new lightness of spirit takes hold of my soul, rendering my emotions light and happiness whole,

For the spring Sun heals all the ice that froze during the cold, infusing us all with a sprit both brave and bold,

In the midst of all this, the Goddess of Education and Music come down to grace our minds and souls with Her Presence,

Electrifying the environment around Her with wisdom eternal and boundless effervescence,

And so I humbly open my mind to Her Infinite Wisdom, as spring approaches once more to take it's rightful seat in its flowery Kingdom.

Wishing all of you a happy Vasant Panchami.
