HAPPY ROSE DAY

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.
