NASTURTIUMS
IN THE SUN
What
use is poetry? Poetry has no use. Technology can be used to make life
easier and more convenient and open new possibilities for us. Art,
however, is not useful, It does not help us with how we live life,
Rather art helps us with why we live. Sometimes just experiencing a
simple thing more fully gives us reasons to live. And sometimes poetry
can help inspire us to have such moments by "capturing"
them to some extent in that most difficult medium- words.
NASTURTIUMS IN
THE SUN
Autumn
morning sunlight lights
leaves
and flowers of tumble-growing
nasturtiums
by veranda side.
Shifting
to air's slightest flowing,
rounded
leaves, so broad and bright,
veined
from centre like green suns,
sparkle
with white drops from night's
dew-fall,
bright as scattered gems.
From
the greenness flowers poke
in
untidy celebration ,
luminous
with sunshine, glowing
yellow,
orange, orange-red,
burning
notes to sing to sight-
kisses
from the heart of light.
