Prism

Just as the sun descends into
A drop of water
Creating a canvass of hues
The 7 columns of mist-spray
Embrace it with open arms
Painting a world of colours into
Its little body

I too possess a sun
And when I embrace it
A spectrum of rainbow-flowers grow from within me
All it takes is a slight change of direction
And again I become
A simple droplet of water
Blank and colourless.

hmm....very touching...indeed...

I think Qayoom Sahib...we all posses that SUN within us...

Only...few of us find it on proper time to kiss it...you know...there is always a proper and definite time to KISS...to wake up someone from long sleep...

Nice post....keep sharing.

This sparks such beautiful visual images in my mind. As always Rehan Qayoom creates a handful of wonderful images to admire & emotions for us to share in.
