the chirping of small birds
all uninvited
the monotonous sound of cricket
the roaming around of butterflies
near the new flowers
which were not there last night
which saw a new day
a new world
in the laps of their mothers
Wow!
i was looking at the trees,the creepers
of my small garden
the hibiscus the marigold
but
today i looked at them
with a purpose
with a peaceful poise
the rain soaked leaves
and the droplets
the all clean leaves after the rain
looking like they were ready for the show!
the greenery
the exuberance
the liveliness
touching my heart!
now out in the garden
i was gauging their growth stories
their taking food from roots
the xylem and phloem
and the photosynthesis
their processes of living
their growing with me
in the same campus, same piece of land
for quite a few years
their feeling happy with cool breeze
when i am happy
and
their standstillness
when i was at pains
talking to me in silence
i hugged my other friends
who reciprocated
with a soothing movement of their tiny branches
and droplets embracing my face,my soul!

I wont lie, I love nature big time but i haven’t really gotten to the point of consciously taking care of a garden or even a vase of plant. I feel so much guilt when i fail to water them and they shrink and shrivel because the weather this side is equally not fair to bless them with rain. I have decided to appreciate the one nature keeps for me because i wont harm them even though it means me seeing them less often in their fullness and magnitude. Until I’m able to pay someone to take care of them being close to me or even train myself to not just appreciate them but also consciously give them the necessary care they deserve π . I have nominated you for a 3 days quotes challenge Kamakyha. you can check out the rule of the challenge here https://forgottenempathy.wordpress.com/2016/07/30/quote-challenge-dayii/.
