Mind Mango Musings



Life is a set of travels through a bunch of squares. Sometimes, again and again, one gets back to square one. But one learns to learn. And if you try hard enough, you get to avoid the snakes to climb up a ladder.....


The Mind Mango
ripening in anticipation
of someone's
golden future;
Wishful foliage,
Green and hopeful,
Blossoms nodding
on an indulgent tree,
Unfolding ,
hopeful of the fruit,
sweet
of the effort......



But
shifty rains hoodwink
your logic,
Dark but willful clouds
sometimes
Parching the blossoms,
And
you remain,
a slogging tree
struggling to
push the sap to the leaves
and branches,
and although skeptical
at the roots,
still
urging the blossoms
"Wait! Dont give up !
These days too shall pass
and life will be ,
sometime,
maybe....
Sweet and Golden Yellow,
again......"

  1. Lovely lines!

    It's difficult for a child to be patient in the face of repeated disappointments, though.:(

  5. "These days too shall pass." How often I have said those words. How many times I have told them to my children when things go wrong. We must continue to hope in adversity. You have said it so beautifully, Ugich.

    The painting is lovely. The trees and sky are a true work of art.
