When in dark despair drowned
I was thinking, joy was nowhere around
A gentle breeze from the upland peaks
Came and patted on my cheeks
Softly whispering- ‘joy is now here’
When the last ray of hope had been snuffed out
From the vapid plane of my arid heart,
A cluster of orchids, beautiful and gay
Smilingly nodding their heads on my way
Sweetly murmured- ‘joy is now here
When I feared the earth was caving in
Under my feet with no chance to win
A butterfly with rainbow colors
Alighting on a bunch of flowers
Euphoniously hummed- ‘joy is now here’
When all my yearnings got shattered
And sustenance alone was what mattered
The blazing sun from behind the hills
Wiping away all morbid chills
Beamingly affirmed-‘joy is now here
When I thought I was drifting afloat
Without any moorings on my boat
A crystal drop precariously balancing
On the serrated edge of a leaf dancing
Playfully chimed-‘joy is now here’
When darkness settles on the scene
When life loses all tinge of green
When days seem inert and grey
Don’t be in a hurry to say
“Joy is nowhere around”
Before you jump to conclusions dismal
And write off life as abysmal
Wait to see the cycle of seasons change
From winter’s haze to spring’s lovesome range!

Life is not all bed of roses...joy may come and go, just take life as it is wishful as always!
beautiful poem of nature. beautiful that heart, feeling that inaudible whisper.
It's a fabulous verse permeated with hope.I read it many times and felt deep joy in my heart. The refrain is thematic. It makes me think if we can imagine a life without Nature. The line I'd always remember: ''When days seem inert and grey Don’t be in a hurry to say “Joy is nowhere around”'.....joy's always there beaming from the hearts like yours!
Simply superb. The essence of your poem is very well summed up in last two stanzas. I will have [! ] to read it again as my favourite.
