Far from the monochrome of life,
Away from the friction and strife,
An excursion beckons once in a while,
The weary mind happily obliges with a smile.
Delves deep within the deep blue sea,
Revisit the corals of a forgotten red love.
Swims with abandon with a floaty vision,
Rediscover the priceless pearls of once cherished friendships.
Fly high with white tufts of tiny cloud,
Innocent imagination unsaddled by dark truths of life.
The ether, full of shiny sparkling stars,
A thousand diyas of a Diwali long past.
Trudges up a mountain slope steep,
Remembers a young will to reach the summit.
The smiling, swaying flowers decking the way,
Bring back the unsullied joys of early life.
Far from the monochrome of life,
Away from the friction and strife,
The mind freely wanders for a while,
Comes back to reality with an invigorating smile!
