Winds Of Summer
Winds of summer blow
to the chimes of her silver anklet
when she walks over the sands of dried rivulet
where once gushed the crystal flow
Winds of summer blow
ripening the mangoes from
emerald to amber
swaying the fields of hope where
vibrant marigold and sunflowers grow
Winds of summer blow
across the lush verdant hills
to unfurl the hues of winter
under the warmth of the azure sky
melting the pearls of snow
Winds of summer blow
to meet the scent of petrichor
where cuckoos sing on soaked branches
and peacocks dance in mirth below
Winds of summer blow
to the rhythm of guffaws
when the kin gets together
on the terrace, on jute charpoys
and silver spangles of the cosmos
shine and glow
