Let Us Bid Farewell On A Cheerful Note: A Poem by Ritu Kamra Kumar

Spring sways and swings the flowers to bloom

Buds and blossom’s festive dance is a boon

Nature paints its canvas from earth to the moon

Benign breeze hums buzzing bees tunes

 

Summer’s sun makes us sweat

Tiring and long days are patience’s test

Yet pleasing are blooming buds of May

Herald the advent of dawdling days

 

Autumn sings music of its own

Leaves fall, and trees look desolate and forlorn

Winnowing  winds blow and make their way through the grass

Barred clouds, soft dying days, subtle plains, we come across

 

Winter has its own  calm  and charm

Rays of sun are welcome to keep us warm

In evenings winds shriek deep in the ears

The mind gets lost in memories of yesteryears

 

In life’s ups and downs, strife, and sorrow

We must peddle our canoe with generosity and glow

Forget woes, let moments of life in felicity flow

Let us bid farewell on a cheerful note, life’s show has to go!
