The Brushstrokes
The swollen sky stretched on horizon
the white bubbles sprinkled on the grey canvas
the tranquil calm pervades the nature
as if it bends to salute the creator
The hills that caress the water so deep
a solitary boat skims on the water
the shadows perch implying deep
the deft brushstrokes use the creator
the feathery figures that randomly walk
seem to merge in the picture with ease
the desolate scene
and unperturbed peace
are the subtle strokes or cues the creator
the jetty plies on the water so calm
half submerged and half seen
like impending thoughts emerging from deep
what to play now, muses the creator
a word of caution hangs on board
tread carefully lest you fall
do the words fall on deaf ears?
spraying the crimson, rues the creator
The beautiful swathe sprawled wide
was the sweep of his brushstrokes
for his progeny, the mankind
did he take trivial for sublime, confuses the creator
What to sketch now?
the prints on the board taken from canvas of life
the crown and glory of creation
ruined the larger portrait, accuses the creator
fondling the feathers with soft strokes
bereft of humans the earth moves
the self-proclaimed hierarchy seems to shift
the avians reign, amuses the creator
he sketched the blueprints
and filled the colors
for his children to nestle in his heaven
but oh, the ruins, and how it bruises the creator
he was there every inch
protecting his benumbed portrait and fragile hearts
standing on your threshold but you refused you lost your faith and lose the creator.
