tickling the leaves

20feb 2021

Streaks of lemon and pink raced across fields of blue, in a relay race without beginning or end.. wings of green raced alongside, shouting in excitement.. uncaring of any lines.. the wind rushed around stamping every spectator present.. tickling the leaves into peals of laughter, rocking branches to bring a smile to the flowers sitting there.. buildings watched stony-eyed, recording everything on their memory walls.. temple bells chimed encouragement.. and gongs thumped to keep their spirit up.. a conch was blown announcing the winners, happily declaring a tie.. and the chief guest rose to reward sashes of sunshine.. with windows catching its rays autographed randomly, amidst heartful applause and colorful ovation..
