Raining Rainbows

In a land of wonders and silver springs
The sky reflected clouds with fluffy golden wings 
Rows of crystal glistened in stages of rapture
Elysium in glimpses, the breeze did capture

But there too were roads of asphalt
That would never once break or be tempted to swerve
Even in moments and matters of clamour
It wouldn't let go and hassle every nerve

The Lifes* were happy in wired routine
Glassy armour with a ruptured grass screen
Air of lavender smelled of sulphur and some ore
Fragrance of breath distilled with metal of gore

But on a day like any other, a slant leaf fluttered
A peachy day of change, as cloud of gems muttered 
Pearly drops of tiny prisms colored the thirsty air
Like a million stained glass sheets of iridescent flair

The managed sky broke into a downpour of liquid light 
Not muddied or muddled brown gray of hidden plight
The sun awakened the colors that one could ever see
Not peeking behind fluff clouds anymore, it melted with glee

For days and days of chaos and peace that mattered 
The earth bathed in rainbows, with plastic rules shattered 
It breathed of fresh flowers and trees that swayed
A little raw, a little flawed, like a star remade

* Lifes is intentional. Though the plural of lifes is lives, here (with a uppercase L) it is meant to be Lifes.

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!
