The Sun And The Flower! Poem by Namratha Swamy

Every morning he rises slowly from the lap of the ocean
awakening her from her mindful sleep.

As the warmth of his being spreads across her person,
she reluctantly unfurls with a blush on her cheeks.

Her friends tease her with a chirp and a tweet
and the sky soaks her with honeyed dews as a treat.

The rising heat of his rays plays with her undaunted spirit
yet for her living even a day in his arms is the nature's precious gift.

Love adorned her eyes as she surrendered to his wishes
yet he deviously bade her goodbye with a dismiss.

Each day she withers in her master's lap thanking him for her day,
as he prepares himself to tickle another flower the very next day!
