Earth-Flavoured Thoughts
Shubhra Krishan At the age of eight, Shubhra Krishan, started jotting down Shakespeare's quotations, without a clue as to what they meant. She says, "They just sounded so nice. Today, words are my bread and butter. And I'm happy to have discovered so many wonderful poets, including the rediscovery of the occasional poet in me, through SAWF." |

Sitting under a multi-coloured sky
on a multi-flavoured morning...
the sun gently warming
the sunflowers
the wind sofly waking them
the earth's carpet of green
touched with gold...
Ah! Life feels so good
Just closing my eyes
and breathing deep
greedily filling my lungs
like a pauper who has found a treasure
smelling the cool, clean air
like I've just been gifted
the world's sweetest perfume
drinking with my eyes
the ambrosia of beauty
like the butterfly
sucks the last of the nectar
from its blushing flower...
it's a never-before,
never-again moment
and I'm so happy
it's mine.
