Khizan naseeb


Morphing rainbows unmet dally.
Surfeit of colors intrepid vary.
On nature’s will of ceaseless flurry.
To divine cues pander and curry.

Cameras click to capture days
As canoes float on waterways
Undulate earth tones, reflect on wakes,
and mirror apposing in silent lakes.

One into other spells that blow.
Twinkles in the sky peek and glow.
Unbeknownst on the myriad paths,
sceneries travel determined swaths.

Now red and orange in life abound
limb and leaf plaster the ground
As man scurries his chosen paths,
oblivious to certain “grapes of wraths”.

Huff and puff of the cotton wool cloaks.
Pull up woolies and huddle the slopes.
Chipmunks curl up in their burrows.
As weather blows in countless furrows.
