Why the dark side of life?

Why the dark side of life?

Life is a beautiful rainbow

spreading its resplendence

Even on the butterfly colourful

and merry on the flowers.

the deep blue and the vast firmament

certain you call it the limitless sky,

can you and I try to vie?

an outing in the vast green field,

wading amidst full blown corn

yellow and green and serenading,

would your sickle plunge into action?

would your mind give it a command?

a walk further in the field

both the hands sidelining the grasses

A tumble upon the stubble and thimble,

at noon by the waterfalls white and foamy,

the siblings call you for a simple lunch

of thick curd rice with mango pickle

meticulously prepared by grandma,

the siblings go to catch colourful fish

In the rivulet simply swept along,

Simply swept along the fish ,

before the sunset they play hide and seek

in the white sand the pebbles popping out

the dark clouds gather, hasten us home

only to illumine,to dispel the gloom,

awake with a cheery dawn of hopes.
