BOUQUET OF LIFE

Sprinkling of delicate fragrant petals,
Abundance of prickly thorns,
A heady mix this life,
Sorrows abound joys are sparse,

Clouds engulf vast blue skies,
Darkness shadows the earth below,
Eyes peer for lone cool drop,
Trickle down the dry face of earth,

Tempests rise within frozen hearts,
Storming through the divine seas of eyes,
While earth thirsts for cool droplets,
Divinity somewhere smiles with pride.

Life just lulls on swing like,
Moments of joys overlapping sorrow,
Laughter snuffing out sobs,
Tears washing away mirth,

Life keeps meandering  river like,
Falling ferociously the high cliffs,
Raging down breathtaking valleys,
Dancing slowly silent  plateaus,

Accepting its varied manifestations,
Enjoying fragrance and pricks alike,
Bouquet of life be caressed and loved,
For "If winter comes can spring be far behind"?????
