There was this golden chrysanthemum
shone who like the rising sun,
amidst the vast spread verdure
playing with dewdrops of nature…
Stood it under the blaze
gazing at the fiery daze
even though the tired lark
veiled behind the comforting shade!
Watching the traveler
pass by the fields
wondered it
what lies forth behind the hills!
Where doth the running stream flow
pondered
the soul of florets
seeing the gushing current go!
Dancing clouds went by
tweeting birds
broke the solitude
butterflies amused for a while
dusk brought everything
silent and anew.
Sings the gilded one
tousling her floral skirt
“The green field in which I was born
I live here until my breath last…
damp soil of my land
holds me upright lest I fall
thence Iam here until I perish
for deeply rooted Iam
in blithe!”

Chrysanthemums make a wonderful tea…that would go perfectly with your poem… Namaste, mary
Thank you Mary for your thought !
Yummy tea, indeed. 🙂
Am hearing chrysanthemum tea for the first time,chamomile and the rest I have heard and tried.. Good I learnt abt it
They are edibles, so they are perfect to decorate salads and small bites.
they look so gorgeous, don’t they? loved the beauty of the poem!
Ya! they are really beautiful! Thanks
Beautiful lines Soumya! Your poems always take me very close to nature. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Iam happy to know that Rachna!
What does inside the heart of chrysanthemum? Soulful and after all, the beautiful flower has a heart and soul. where were u, Soumya? Missing u on the space..
Ya ! The chyrsanthemum has a heart and soul.If you notice the lines deeply Vishal,they are about a soul who observes the people and life around continously moving in search of something or for personal needs…the flower is at a place where it stands,bears,enjoys every season of life with endurance and happiness as it is attached to its land(motherland) physically and psychologically. The chrysanthemum has been used as a personification here .
And sorry not been able to be on your posts since last few days, had many things on hand at a time.
Indeed, it has Soumya. A soul who observed is always vibrant and has a heart. We are all travelers in this amazing journey of life which is beautifully described by Paulo Coelho’s Alchemist. It is indeed and such a beautiful post. Do comment when you have time and thanks for giving me ur time. Don’t be sorry:)
Yes the journey is quite well expressed and explained in Alchemist! But many thanks that you liked this too. It was a perspective a soul can have or even a flower when it stands alone.
Beautiful flowers. If only I could say it ten times fast. 🙂
You dnt have to Crystal! Even if you say once I can get your feelings through! 🙂 🙂
