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

Wow! You got me with wedding! Little green hands, obedient, and a dawn of a better tomorrow! Such a beautiful ode to marigold that I am sure I should have appreciated them more all these years.
ReplyDeletelove the images of wedding blossoms, the child-like image of a bloom and the community of marigolds waving in the breeze - lovely autumn post
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of the wedding too, with the marigold chains - so lovely. They are a staunch and brave flower, and always say "fall" to me, as I had them years ago in my garden. I love the "tiny green hands" too.
