 SPECTRAL GLORIES

Spread lasting peace, crimson colors,

After spring and the fall create horror,

Lingering shadow essay melancholy,

The sun sinks in western skies, only (1)

 

Sprout green leaves, ornate branch,

Busy was the nest bird chirps, well,

Buds coming out blossom, enhance,

Fruit and flower attracting life hail, (2)

 

Winter has stolen happiness coldly,

Dry twig clings to a tree, hung boldly,

A leafless branch resembles arteries,

Dark is the human life, adding miseries, (3)

 

Pervade cold night mimics distress,

Blizzards, unexpected rain, clueless,

Human fate acquires a sad picture,

The dusk promises a dawn, sure, (4)

 

Paint is not like sinking aspirations,

Poses sunrise deny condemnation,

Instills courage, and efforts dwell,

Fructify in time, leaves green, well, (5)

 

Unfolds in sequence buds flowers,

Fruit ripens, seed travels life shower,

Mystic, the human life recovers fast,

Mysterious the mind, actions last, (6)

 

A result of deeds like seeds travel,

Orange colors of the sun unravel,

Radiant human face smiles satisfy,

Complacency and stagnation defy (7)

 

Evening of the human life or a day,

Spectral glories sprayed, mainstay,

Reject impermanence, dream a lot,

Materialize the dawn duly escorts. (viii)
