Mid Summer Days Poem by Debashree Kachari

A far cry, a blast of cooper-like sky
Cascades golden hye that embraced green so shy,
A pall of azure soon gleams and arise;
Shadows of sadness then blink and dies.

Darkness has sacrificed to unleash the light
that awoke the peonies so bright and bright,
By lake side, lily and lotus grows pink or white;
But they have no value before first light.

Ebb of zephyr drive the dust of thy despair
Heavenly drop drips through, breaking the air,
They kiss the tree-tips and slip into the mere;
Half-conscious flowers then shouts and cheer.

Stream of water leads a river into a river
Just as the cloud flows hither and thither,
Same is the sea of hope and desire;
O Summer, promise me that you'll last for ever.
