Out Of The Flower-Beds

by Hema Ravi

Companions still in winter sleep…

Bulbs buried in the soil deep

came out noiselessly

on a cool morning in shades

of pink, yellow, cream and orange

held upright by the long striped leaves

Incredible magnificence

swaying in the gentle breeze

unfazed by the passersby

who hurried on without a glance

and a green-thumb who stood awhile

in astonishment and delight.
