Wonder When.. Poem by kaavyaa kriday

Broken shards of glass still lay scattered over the floor,
wonder when the last drops of blood dried up,
Ancient vases of jaded hues still adorn the corners,
wonder when the cobwebs claimed the last vestiges of life,
Yellowed papers flutter in effortless noise,
Wonder when the words were stripped of their essence,
A few lopsided paintings cling onto the walls,
Wonder when the winds washed away the colours,
A few candles flowed to immortality on dusty floors,
Wonder when the flame split into a zillion fragments,
Some strings still dance to distant tunes,
wonder when silence composed its first symphony,
Shafts of light suffuse the gloomy ambience,
wonder when dawn was embraced with open arms,
A tiny cage creaks in the gentle wind,
wonder when the tempest broke the mesh open,
The azure sky is bespeckled today with shiny wings,
Wonder when the first drops of breath satiated the soul!
