Green rain sliding down
Invisible ropes of light.
Clouds huddle, sullen.

Spring and Rain, and Flowers and Dog
©April 26th, 2014
By Vijaya Sundaram
Rain erases with gentle
Pearly, indifferent mercy
All that ever was that died.
And with one wash, she
Brings forth life anew.
Daffodils nod along the paths,
Pink hyacinths and purple ones
Glow amidst a young green
Pushing from a pulsing earth.
Narcissus and Puschkinia
Bright, cheerful pansies,
Close to the earth, but undeterred
All beautiful, all simple —
No terrors, no hopes, no fears,
No egos, no sorrows, no losses,
No working for a living,
No guilt about idleness,
No chasing after dreams,
No saying “no” to things.
All saying “yes” to Life
— Even when it comes along
In canine form, sniffs, springs,
Laughs soundlessly, and
SNAP! A pansy is gone!
