Bloom

These lines are written for my friend who is a painter and many others like him who bring colours to people’s life

Bloom

A flower you are

That seems to bloom on withered trees

Peek out of inches of snow

And smile

Seem to laugh in summers

When everything around is dying

Even shine in the dull gloom

Of an overcast sky

Keep your head high in a downpour

When everything droops down

Facing the earth

Sometimes I think

You could be fake

Don’t want to believe my doubts

They have fooled me more

Than not

This time I won’t lose out

Though there’s nothing much to gain

Well it depends on how one looks at it

A work of art

Or a moment of joy
