One by one,
Petals unfold
red pink peach cream
silvery patches of dew.
We're one step away from
perfection
but as we move ahead
blinkers light
lightning strikes,
I shudder in the moonlight
hands flailing for your arms
glistening, the stream
coursing through, and I see
you crossing the bridge
burning it afterwards
Smiling, I am there at the
back of your mind
but the lightning, oh the
lightning
strikes again and you move
farther away
there is too much light, too
much dark
all at once
the petals are finished, the
beauty has gone
how do I tell you
that life is still vibrant,
when we're one step close to
perfection
and yet away, so far away
It is then, we break
like two branches of the
stream
two seasons, times and
places
known but distant.
Wish we knew perfection is
bliss
before we knew
how close we were to
perfection
and yet, so far away.
Just before the day ends, wishing you all a Happy Rose Day. Not because some of us celebrate it, while some don't. It is just an inspiration to make a conscious effort to make the day a little more brighter, happier and kind. Be good, and let good things happen to you.
