Serendipity

Heart beats, nubivagant colours change

It's a new start, birds chirp away

Feels like resurrection, the morn rays

Arcadian dew drops dance and

Steal breaths away

And the sun moves higher...

Azure sky, blazing sun

Warm zephyr, swaying grass

Birds rest, bracing them

For the imminent endeavours, and adventures

And time moves, the sun, slow,

Subsides to the horizon...

It's gradual at first, the sirimiri

Then sudden, hefty drops

And when it stops, the petrichor

Tranquil, the air is replete

Sun, there, settles, the rain it muses

And falls behind its curtain...

Starts out amaranthine, but night turns stygian dark

Sifting the moonlight, gazing the stars

Exuberant aurora now seems real far

Colder it gets, shrivelling up

Yet the restlessness of the day is gone

Journey is done, now the sempiternal freedom.
