Detachment Derivative

In the dreaming domain of dainty dawn gentle zephyr flows, ripples the radiant facade of the placid pond, where on the lilting lap of a silken lotus leaf, floating forlorn, rolls restless a rain drop, resplendent. The sparkling rays of the scarlet sun transform it into an opalescent pristine pearl, lest it drops down disowned, the leaf entwines its transient trance with satin threads of love, but doesn’t get attached to the possession, ephemeral. Under the searing sun the pond water simmers within the cauldron of the scorching day, the singed lotus leaf scrunches to wait for the end of its time, its guest fluid gem resigned to destiny wistfully dries up, freed by desiccated longing unattached, of the prudent leaf, and disappears in drifting air to obscure triviality with it’s a transient entity, unpossessed in adorable abandon. In winter twilight as the wilted leaf of the defoliated tree of my languid life floats on ebbing tide of the consumed time, my essence distils a drop of elixir, the bracing bliss, under luminous divinity I embrace enlightenment engrossed, imbibe sublime serenity of detachment derivative, illumined.
