Random Thoughts On a Lazy Evening
Patches of dark clouds
Came floating by
Intruding the gold
That mingled with the blue in the sky
If one thought
The dark clouds would mar
They were proved wrong
For the dark too fell at par
Like strokes from a brush
Wielded by a hand delicate
That carelessly swept
Not thinking where it led
Once the deed done
Would have woken with a start
But seeing the result
The smile would have drawn the lips apart
For it brought out
The freshness in the blue
And enhanced
The fire in the golden hue.
Life’s canvass too,
If one thought deep
Only becomes richer
Amidst innumerable careless deed.
