Gulmohar flowers in full bloom-
The glowing red flame
and radiance
enter quietly into my being,
lending it a glossy glow
like that of the radiant sun,
susurrating to ripple
the scalding vibes of my fury
and injured pride
while whispering the tales
of the fiery sun
in a melodious murmur-
mellowing the heat
of my pain and suffering-
melting it with a single stroke
of love and compassion-
making it flow downwards
and meander slowly
into the well
of endurance and bliss-
draping myself in its scarlet hues.
(Note: Gulmohar tree is called Royal Poinciana or flame tree in English.)
