(87) Why the dark side of life?

Life is a beautiful rainbow
spreading its resplendence,
EVEN on the butterfly colourful
and merry on 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,
Playful they are, 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 gloom,
awake with a cheery dawn of hopes.
