Imagination

I have written this poem long time back. It is one of my favorite poems. The poem describes how a "poem" was written during one of the lull periods in the day... But the effect of the poem, the satisfaction of expressing thoughts into lovely words, lasted only for a while. The last line of this poem suggests the need to keep your imagination, your creativity alive forever!

Imagination
My heart was barren
It felt the sun's hot glare
It longed for colorful life
So i threw words into air.

The words rose like a song loud
With great pomp and band.
They fell as a soft whisper
Like the snowflakes on sand.

The white snow on the brown sand
Made the bells of joy ring
I was transported to another world
And a dreamy song i did sing.

But in no time, the snow melted
And it vanished with evaporation...
But it left behind dry patches
To be filled in by new imagination...

Hi Mukta,
Thanks to your blog I discovered one more talent in an already zillion talents in you. I knew you could do any job through your smile, but your pennmanship is fabolus. I m such an idiot to post all those stories and expecting them to be read. These are so nice. I went through all of them, Each was refined and beautifully put togather. It is an honour knowing you. Keep the good work. I will start again and perhaps come out with something that will be as good as the creations you made.
