WHISPERS: Swan Song

Dark clouds have rained and gone

You smile, in burst of rainbow, across sky

In deluge of pain, I smile too

__

Love stands
Like the lotus in the pond

Unattached, Alone, Deflowered

Lotus pond

Waits

Silently

Lotus flowers too

Pink petals -hesitatingly

Unfurl, heron silently stare

Life unfolding,

In the morning mist

Boddhi tree floated, a message

Of life,

In the falling leaf

On the temple floor

Breeze stood still

Music of Flute stopped playing

In the bamboo grove

Swan has started singing its song

Life, lives in little steps of love

But love bleeds life

In little steps, too

Falling, leaving and dying

Swan is singing

Its swan song

Time does not know,

It has come

Deep in the temple

Buddha Smiles

Nothing is forever

Forever is nothing
