Waiting For Light

She waits... at that spot he promised to reach... When the dark blue and grey sky Lightens up to pink and pearl grey At the moment, just before dawn Under the huge mango tree Besides the splendid sunflower garden She waits for him... With hope... The young bright golden sunflowers In the garden With beautiful brilliant yellow petals And dark tiny florets in the middle Their vibrant faces swinging With slow dainty movements Towards east Waiting Anticipating The arrival of 'light' The golden glorious 'sun' For its dazzling rays of 'hope' As the golden ball ascends At the crack of dawn The magical sky radiates Hues of yellow, orange and red And a silhouette of birds Fly against the gorgeous sun At the sight of the mighty sun The sunflowers gracefully glow, Swaying gently To bask in it's glow and warmth Under the tall mango tree Hoping to see the 'light' of her life... She still waits...

Beautiful imagery, Anitha. I love how you are waiting for that metaphorical “light” will being completely surrounded by actual light: sunflowers, dawn, bright orange mangos. That “light” will come all in due to season ... in the meantime, eat a mango, pick a sunflower. Embrace what you can control and don’t stress over what you can’t (as the old saying goes).
