The colours of dawn!!!

Complex to perceive the colours of the dawn

-Every new dawn has a colour

But…. Lies in the eyes of the beholder

The fresh cold morning dew on the grass

Bigheaded as though sanctified with a crown

The unseen colours of a rainbow as though

shyly chose to remain concealed

The endless babbling of a toddler

Mama hears it always, melts her heart every time

The shocking ripples of water in the well

Just like the pail hit its head

Fresh snow on the mountain top

glistened to vaunt her elegance

The eternal waves rolling ashore

Rebellious to claim it’s frontier

The non-immaculate yet a cosy shelter

Flocked by the birdie for her noisy fledgelings

Just like a water brook formed by the torrential downpour

Not a deliberate trail yet it creeks

As driven strategically… So are we!!

This life we live….

It drifts and flourishes through seemingly

Triumphs and downfalls over love and hate ;

Shines and shivers with ever after and never again

Breathe and break the slumber

Every dawn has a colour

What you see is the colour you perceive !!
