When the body latches on to
greater reality
The mind aware
A stillness floats amidst chaos
Gradually dawn outlines trees from
sky
In shades of grey deepening in
colours
Startled peahen startles lapwing
Then the calls of awakening
Mussaenda frondosa
Mussaenda frondosa stands out
In the gradient green of the forest
It staked chlorophyll for spirit of the trees
Alive at the slightest breeze
To flutter, to fly
Alight everywhere
