Unlikely bouquets
The days of life are unlikely bouquets
of blooms unopened, half-open or full,
all bursting with the fragrance of the lands
exotic, far-off: wafting from the stars
that wait and flicker, watch and smile down
on figures holding forth — their umbras cast
on bushes, crags, and waterfalls, and plains:
shining down on deserts and on mounts,
high pinnacles illuminate with fire
and lend to flow'ring days effulgent grace.
The days of life are unlikely bouquets—
they flourish, wither: underneath our gaze.
