F L O W E R S

To me flowers are like fresh poems

Of God the poet.

 

I look at them with awfully amazed eyes.

 

Their delicate structures, indefinable hues, surreal  poses

give birth to numerous mystical questions to which I get no answers from

any gardener. 

 

God the gardener is beyond the comprehension of all the

gardeners of the world.  He is incomprehensible even by a master gardener.    

 

In fact, He is the mightiest  Brain-Teaser for all those who try to understand Him.

 

To me flowers are not merely fragrant  petals.  They are an aesthetic, spiritual and

philosophical entities whose ultimate elucidation is missing even from   

the poetry of Ghalib, Iqbal, Kalidas, Wordsworth,  Dante, Goethe and Shakespeare.

 

For onlookers like me flowers  will always remain  mysterious reflections of God , the Supreme Poet.
