My contribution to Sunday Scribblings - #246
foggy winter mornings,
distant rhythmic hymns
early morning routine
clear objectives at hand
purple and pink flowers
plucked fresh from December bushes
strung in a crisp, white thread
a symmetric, neat garland
a notebook filled with designs
translated into distinct shapes
frontyard neatly decked
adding life to different colours
praise the devotee
one poetic verse everyday,
offer sacred leaves
bless us, Oh Lord Krishna!
longing for the last month
the fragrance, the colours,
the music, the memories
vividly etched for years
P.S - #1 In India, we have a flower named December. These flowers blossom only during this specific month every year.
P.S - #2 December is also special to worshippers of the Hindu Deity, Lord Krishna and his devotee, AndaaL.
