Summery and soothing
Fragrance of an Indian wedding
Petals on Petals
Dancing together
Green submerged like a child in a womb
Filling the cavity, growing with a bloom
Layered like a sea wave
Each layer majestic
Each wave poetic
Conjoined but separate
Woven in a sonnet
Growing out of brown
Stemming from a cave
Tiny green hands
Holding on to petals
Like a child attached to roots
Inspite of being a rebel
Orange like a sunset
All ready to wave goodbye
All set to drown
But followed by a rise
Promising like a dawn
Of a better tomorrow
Million flowers growing and blooming
Swaying through the wind
Dancing to the music
Tall and soaring
Proud and enthralling
Usual yet precious
Gold in a pot
Flaming and hot
My marigolds
