Tropical Spring
by Sunita Fernandes
|
The Rain Tree has bloomed, heralding Spring. Feathery pink blossoms stick out in stunning profusion On every stem; every branch a gigantic bouquet. Reaching out and upwards, straining for the silent sky, They quietly sing Your glory. Looking out of my second storey window at work, I see a green carpet billowing in the soft breeze; The top foliage of shady tropical trees. Spring leaves in greens of every hue imaginable. How many greens have you created in Green, Lord? The flower-laden Jacaranda stands imperial, Every bough heavy with misty lavender blooms. New-born dragonflies suddenly burst into view, Whizzing past each other with dizzy speed. Miniature helicopters of nature. Flowering Peltaphorum trees are over-whelmed by Yellow flowers that wink and glitter on dark green branches. At nighttime, under the orange neon lamppost, I see fallen blossoms on the road. Some crushed, others Golden stars sprinkled over black tarmac. |
