Spring Revelry Poem by Saroj Padhi

Spring is here in half-wakeful hours of dreaming flowers
when seeds gently swell in the ovaries, eager to assume name;
in happy swings of bursting buds filled with wild desires
when a tender Sun swims in dense fog without fire in its flame;

when caterpillars open chests of the cocoons to fly into freedom
and bees buzz around oozing blossoms, without rest to tiny wings,
leaves sprout from Winter's boughs, to enthrall Nature's kingdom
and birds blare out mating calls as wind million songs of soul sings;

moments of ecstasy with giggling grass revive on earth's soft bed,
breeze ruffles the leaves of memories lying in heaps hither, thither
as a cool Moon wanders in heaven stirring desires long since dead
and her beams scratch itching hearts in love, drawing them still closer;

Spring holds all bound to its brief spell like a magic show in Nature
blessed are the beings who steal from it moments of golden rapture.
