Morrows’ morning sun
16 January 2015
The sun begot trail
Waking in yesterday’s path
It wove its way back
You and I like the sun walked
In memory’s winding lanes
Golden sun rises
Dispelling the dark of night
That tried to cling on
So too did memories cling
But we saw no same landscape
Sun soared pulling robes
Of a trembling day that shook
In the morning fog
Like clouds gathered in my head
I paused as you walked ahead
Climbing leaves reached out
Stretched towards sun’s kiss hopeful
Of new beginnings
Pulsating minds in morrow
Stood separate intertwined
Jasmine bloomed in pot
Its roots reached out to plastic
Oblivious of earth
Roots ripped I followed you not
And grew anew in concrete
Sun rising above
Sighed upon a new landscape
Where leaves blazed like hay
Throat parched with words unspoken
Echoed the transformation
Sun high up in sky
Cast no shadow towards west
All objects swelled round
In centre I expanded
Swallowing my own sun’s flames
Birds flew to no nests
For trees felled had sunk to piles
Fallen leaves rustled
Mind’s trees stood firmly apart
With roots sprouting in between
