who else will fear the sleet
when infused gentian breathes -
across silent roadsides fallen asleep
and phantom blue mountains foreseen;
little did snow know
whom I have never seen
fears come and go
as life exists …
when winter will surely succeed
and questions whoever wins
happily as today, in this full spring
in blue mountains it will recede.

this is lovely. have you not seen snow?
i was born in North Dakota...and we would get snow drifts that would get so high they would reach halfway up the sides of our house.
we don't get as much snow here in British Columbia, but further North is a lot of snow, as well as parts of the interior. to the North, there are snow-covered mountains in the near distance...
I could send you some Alok but fortunately it has all melted now :) Love the soothing imagery in this.
Alok,
You can have my snow. It just snowed here yesterday. I am a bit tired of it. But your writing is lovely and I send apologies as I have been a tad busy with graduation and have not gotten to visit that often. I shall fix that.
THank you love,
T
My favourite line?
"across silent roadsides fallen asleep" ;-D
I too have never seen snow, but have experienced the hailstone rain. That great play is unforgettable. Gad you have snow fall there, nice verse buddy :)
coooool!
especially in this upcoming summer season in india ;)
I have been to your blog many times and always returned dumbstuck by the power of your expression.
Well written
Keep writting
beautiful! Wonderfully said.
...Love 'phantom blue mountains' -
arresting image...
is this more of a battle of strength rather than the beauty of the elements. nicely written. in the dynamics of the elements, each will give up at the right time for the cycle to continue; snow, spring, summer, winter, fall, rain...etc
Winter sometimes so strangely brings Spring. So watch carefully Alok. :)
Keshi.
wonderfully soothing
as "infused gentian breathes"
thank you
last stanza is stunning.. surely something to be read and re-read.
musical tune ...Nasra
