Drips and Drops

Desolate and destitute,
I lay here,
Where the air freezes.
Forgotten and forbidden,
I lay here,
As the breath in my skin ceases.

There once was a bubble
That housed the light,
A tinge of the wildflowers,
Bathed in celestial Celestite.
It had the voice of sky
That sparkled with dust once...
A reverie that the aurora witnessed
As the dragonflies chanced a dance.

The light stole the bubble's sheen,
Escaping into lands unaddressed...
Devoid of paths and grass,
In the blank banks,
The droplets never traced.
In those craving corners,
I lay bereft
Of existence and extinction,
Every breath measuring their heft.

In weary words and silent shrieks
That dreamt of dreary doom,
A stalk or straw - none in sight...
But the ghosts of tears did loom.
And as all that never was glooms,
I lay here, still... 
Awaiting a beacon in the blazing blooms.

About Me

My photo
As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
