Evening Thoughts Poem by Bharati Nayak

Evening Thoughts

Rating: 4.7


Petals from the flower
Falling and withering away,
Sweet scents have mingled in the air,
Colors lost, the branches look bare.

I sit on the door step
To welcome old memories,
But with time
They have faded
Like my failing eyesight.

They have all visited my garden,
The blazing Summer,
Gurgling rain,
Cold winter,
And colorful spring,

Breezes bring,
Some fragrances,
Laden with old memories,
Ah!I keep the door open,
To welcome them all! ! !

Thoughts change with time, thoughts change with the weather, thoughts change when a dawn embraces a dusk. A thoughtful poem.

hi, bharati! it's been a while—in part because my wife and i vacationed for more than three weeks. i'm glad this morning to see new postings by you in english. I like this one—the feel, the directness of it. you illustrate the power of smell to evoke memory—i thought of my recent visit in washington d.c. where trees, of a kind i wasn't familiar with, sweet-scented the neighborhood we stayed in. be well! -glen
