Stones Also Have a Story

Who says that birds of different feathers can't live together? God created different feathers for man to admire and understand that, Similar feathers live in similar habitats, They feed, fly and passionately protect each other. Boulders from high, dry territories break down with time, Roll downhill to reach distant resting places, The gushing, foaming brooks and rivulets carry them along, Sometimes pushing them, and sometimes letting them be when they are tired. In this sojourn they smoothen their rough, crude exteriors, To ready them before they reach the destination of their choice. Their inviting looks in the doorways of the shallow babbling waters now, Attracts the breeds of Michael Angelo's with their searching eyes. They embroider red-green birds of space on soft angular stones, The blue and lilac bewildered, round-eyed owlets perch quietly alongwith, The crimson, yellow coloured netty-winged butterflies of the earth on oval seats, While the rounded stones are like sequined multi-coloured catalysts under the sea. Earth, space and water are united by the souls of these creative artistes. With deft fingers and palette rainbow paints in their studios, Nature is re-created on mandalas in all its delightful magnificence, Which God Himself was not empowered with. January 19, 2016 Contest:Theme#7 Colours Sponsor: Skat A Reference to artists like Sehnaz Bac who paint beautiful mandalas.
