Reminiscing with Nature

a poem by Vikash

A rainbow rises over the horizon
Scattering a troop of colours
Across the broken sky.

A whisper from the wind
Breathes a tale into my ears
As I feel the last of the raindrops
Assault my eyes.

Slowly, the warmth of the sky
Clothes my cold bones
As the wet earth withdraws
Her cloak from me.

A budding seed
Pushes past my body,
Rushing to the surface
Like a child to a new toy.

Fascination
Stimulation,
Another tragedy relived
As the flower dies with the coming winter

Slowly the trees shed their leaves
Gliding down to the earth.
Kissing me,
Teasing me.

And a smile
Develops upon my face
As I remember…
I rest in peace.
