Existence without life
Ubiquitous concoction of mirth and pain
Chequered boxes of joyful colours shadowed dim by woes
Enmeshed with cobwebs of aspirations, nitty- gritty of life
Monochrome pall over sun-kissed rainbow hues

Mind-forest burning in red flames of emotions
Texture of rugged bark of palash trees under tiny feet
Buds cracking open like volcano erupting, the day burns,
Gossamer dreams dissipate like mist in propitious sunshine candid
Doubts insecurities and eccentricities lurk in shadows silhouetted by sunlight
Nourishing within a phantasmagoric world of illusion and reality

All merge amid oranges of ethereal luminescence
Changing shades of darkness in nature’s palette
Transcending hours impregnated with hope
Existence gets life
