MANGO BLOSSOMS
DR. R. RABINDRATNATH MENON I.A.S. (Retd.)
It鈥檚 time for mango blossoms, the nip
in the morning air moulds the tree鈥檚 sap.
Dark clouds hanging out in the sky
would melt them. One doesn鈥檛 figure out why.
Creation鈥檚 secrets we see marching past,
good things aren鈥檛 tough enough to outlast
assaults from the unknown, they fall and die.
Nature鈥檚 bounty overcoming the defects
and deficiencies in their make-up reflects
a cause for mass-production; the strong and the week
are a pattern formed of valley and peak.
鈥淕o and multiply鈥� when prospects seem bleak.
Unrelieved plains are against the pre-set
model in the mind of the great architect.
Peals of laughter, tear-drops, silences,
justice carved out from realities and pretences;
both good and evil appear to succeed
and fail, leaving no room for a creed
absolutely decreed. Good sense stands freed.
