shoe flower’s wailing !!!

Today morning, I woke up to see the sun blinded by some dark clouds after a heavy pour.Everything looked so pale, dull & gloomy.I felt like darkness embracing me.I comforted myself on my couch with a cup of coffee.To my enlightenment, I could spot some bright colors a lil far …I was curious , so I swiftly put on my flip-flops and ran to the scene.

At the corner of my side yard near to the fence, I could see a pair of shoe flower plants with some winsome flowers..my eyes were magnetised .They were so heavenly and their alluring charm in the bizarre environment made my day.When I went close I could hear their murmur..

“someone is gazing at us

I think it’s the spoiled brat

but it leaves me in no fuss

when he stand along his cat

may be to rip us and set fire

they love roses and daisies

which they care and admire

a life with pots and vases

living to glow and standout

always bought for money

and not to be thrown out

even flies love their honey

but we live of our own

never in pride and glory

neglected and unknown

avoided without a sorry

always blushing at them

with no worries and regrets

just to earn their contemn

no matter dawns or sunsets

been used to polish thy shoes

making our life’s mundane

pushing us into our woes

I see human so insane

using my leaves as medicine

with no thorns and traps

so damn real and genuine

everywhere in the maps

my colours they ignore

beauty they don’t recognize

they will one day explore

and surely apologize“

We are living in a world that admires the price and thereby leaving the priceless unnoticed.We rarely appreciate the beauty that is free, near and around, instead go for the faraway costlier ones.This can be seen in our life’s too.We all should try to value, admire and hold on to what we have with total contentment and happiness, that will make our life’s beautiful & full of colours..

Happy monsoon…

Thankyou!
