The Winter's Wings

By Ashutosh Das

Even before the sand dunes and sunrays,

Sculpted His Divinity, in palms and psalms of parable.

He revealed the monarchy of his visions,

Seasoned in the language of Creation​, in nature noticeable.

For Author of beauty, fashioned redemptive philosophy of nature,

Embracing elements, His artistic masterstrokes, take delight in His creature.

Mortal matters bejewel immortal nature, entertain six seasons like man,

Carries in heritage, deciduous density, is soulful in His plan.

Nature nightingales sublimating springs, scripts sultry summer,

Pitter-patter of parading raindrops, peter out into autumn​ leaves, dewdrops welcome wondrous wings of winter.

Winter garlands Mother Earth , fabricating her veils with a snowy velvet touch,

Avalanches of glinting glade of glorious white, His blessings one can vouch.

Suffuses the wintry sun, Mother's Icy Crown, glazing with a rosy glow,

Filtering through canopies, the spectrum of unlimited expressions, to embosom the meadow.

Chandeliered heavenly lanterns ,ushering unfadable colours to the night sky,

The diurnal dewdrops ,trap universal signature, a treasure trove of beauty, before they die.

Starry flakes of snow, architect sculptures in wooded wealds, embossing radiant passion,

Tapestries, the nature embroiders, in Frost floating- fairies of dandelion.

Tantalizing moon celebrates the shine in the darkness,

Meanders in phases, with stellar constellations in stillness.

Romancing the dreams, personifying the flashes of love,

Luminous moon glade dances on frosted lakes, holy star precipitates from above.

Seraphic atmosphere, the Majesty of Heavens, makes his way to His earthly abode,

Belled valleys, rosaries rejoice with Carols and Cantata, in His Christmas vespertine.

Butterflies from heavens, come to heal the bleeding wounds of past,

All life forms beat one heartbeat, with bliss, compassion and love that would last.

Northern lights landscaping the language of life, with earthy temptation,

Encapsulating soft pace and beauty, exceeds our fascination.

Orchestrating tunes of life ,Mother nature celebrates the symphony of silence,

Vintage fiery furnace, pacifies the shivering earthy sense.

Voicing the hymns of religious humanity, regaling renditions of heartbeats of heart,

Celebrating timeless bonds of relationships, crafted in heaven, but materialized on Earth.

Children of Lord ,all are we, world's our own family,

Mortal matters gild the souls, amity rules the stars of humanity.

Like the history of man, winter embarks the ending journey of calendar,

The skeletal trees, the standstill nature evoke hopes of rebirth and wonder.

Rejuvenating the life, again with a new foliage,

Idol of life reaches the innermost shrine, joins cycle of rebirth, preaches the sage.

Winter's indoctrinate awakening of conscience, of the worldly creation,

Asks to embalm calmness, trust one's instincts and impulses, to feel the vibration.

Teaches to quest for solace, sense of purpose in trouble,

Preaches to be decisive, praise the values of silence, to remain imperturbable.

Petallic lotus, unwinds its petals opens one by one,

Atonement and success, humans share alone.

Nature celebrates colours and miniatures, explains the purpose of Lord,

Winter, an unending poem, is immortal in the petallic eyes of God.
