Spring Is Not For Ever Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Spring's red comes after a long winter's blue,
With a message to all mankind: Let go,
Forget the past to forge ahead and grow,
To life when comes the life as if born new.
March Twenty First1, mercury's on the march,
The grey acquires when a fresh coat of green,
Green life when comes under a greater arch,
Buds when blossom, the garden's no more lean,
And radiates with rainbow's shades many,
Birds, bees begin to sing in symphony.

Yet, summer takes o'er soon, dull gets cool breeze,
Sun acquires harsh grimace and no more smiles,
Not forever is spring, though God's grace is,
And all green gets pale grey for miles and miles.
