Perspective

Outside my window glints today
Lighted and pearly as Milky Way
Tinted purple just as I expected
Where darkened night decayed

Now yawning sullenly, suddenly
Shrouding glee of morning rising
Silencing birds chirping gleefully 
As cotton clouds turning unruly
Pitter-patter, raining on dawning

Much alike my yesterday’s dream
That spun so much of revelry
Only to then abandon me in reality.

You are busy gazing at prairies,
Winds rustling summer’s revelry
As rudderless streams, giggling, 
Zigzag on terrain shamrock green;

You vouch for rainbow unseen
Hiding behind obscured skyline,
Insist there’s a sound of hello
In parting voice of each goodbye

Peering in distance on other side
Sighting upon a magenta sky
Impending joy of golden sunrise.

This description of the early morning is simply ethereal....Love the expressions 'magenta sky and golden sunrise'. They have become part of my poetic vocabulary ! Thanks a lot Vijay ! 'Vouch for rainbow unseen', as perspective changes everything!

WoW! Vijay, No matter how dark it is, one’s own perspective is the key. Good entry for the contest, my friend. It looks like a winner to me. Well done:-) Alexis

The way we look at everything is the way we will perceive it to be. Whether it is or not makes no difference, it's what is going on in our own mind that rules how we personally believe it to be. Lovely write my friend. God Bless, JB

Imagine if we all looked at things and life from the same perspective, just a clone of one another, however you splendidly and with passion tell of an individual's perspective - yours, which only goes to say, thank goodness you proved we are all unique, each of us with a different viewpoint. excellent poetry Vijay, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Breathtaking dear painter poet, sometime I wonder if you pen a poem or paint it. Yet, what a silly thing to ask, is not it the same thing? I'd be surprised only if you do not win, congrats anyway.
