The Golden Light
--- Bhavna Khemlani
Like a garland of beaming light
brief and wild
living mural of persistence
true little Dandelion
starlet – yellow - during Autumn
inspired golden hour before dusk
How can we keep the synergy alive?
where we pluck, full of joy, we found
a reward in the breezy times
yellow circles burst
lighting up the inner child
delicate yet maturing
versatile climbers of life
filling the gaps between bridges
without being loud or angry
it’s whose fault
that we all seek rays of the golden light
enveloping the darkness subtly
crumbling the illusions
sleepy senses come alive
that the strong wind
disperses the feathery soft bristles
carrying a legend for new growth
opportunity as we learn – we can
also blow all the seeds of a dandelion
with a single breath making a wish
that the golden hour appears in everyone’s life
where no such chaos is dispersed but
we can learn to keep the synergy alive
bright and yellow
humble yet surprising
the warmth and power
within – The Golden Light
