Creation

From nothing, it evolved,

solidified into a figment

wafting in the wind to

connect with you, me and

the freedom of the breeze.

Did it come from the Universe —

this idea, this thought? Did

it ride on a sunbeam or fall

with stardust on a dry leaf

floating towards an unknown

infinity — a distant dream of

an unformed mind, open but

lost in a kingdom of its own?

Did it then, fall on a flower

and stay till a butterfly supped

on the nectar? A bit of it again

touched the iridescent colours of

the wings. The mind swinging

in the playground, stopped and

watched as the colours descended

on the hand like a beautifully

painted fan. The smile radiated

into sunshine and a rainbow

filled the sky. Something had

awakened in the soul and no one knew why.
