A poignant love poem celebrating nature, by Rajashree, exclusively for Different Truths.

Confined to my mystical silence
I bloom like a flower
And my aromatic fragrance silently floats
To scent and beautify the morning hours

This is where I was born
With brilliant dazzles of dewdrops atop
Caressed and nurtured by spring
Awaits autumn to fall

All look like a mirage
You say you are on a pilgrimage
My pyramid of thoughts is seized by dawn
When my petals scattered on the wide-spread lawn
