Clarion call of paradise



The threshold was gleaming bright
shadows of the night, devilish sights,
were now flooded with blinding lights,
that shone like stars,
brightening the trail,
leading to sunshine 
filled with aura of a fresh departure
at the onset

The prickling bygones were now resting
in a furrow inundate with wilderness
a sudden surge of slur 
that had once enveloped the ozone
buried now amidst the lost world
that rested, post being feasted
& tested with time & again

The pathway delightfully adorned,
to welcome it where it belonged
lost & found, all over again
leading to its haven,
it sighed a relief 
to have broken the chains 
& moved beyond the shackle of time

Up it wandered, embracing joy
Radiant in its semblance
truce to its being
wafting amidst limpid trails
enthralled of ubiety of many alike
swarmed by bulwark
of pristine divine

Lessons learnt of virtue & vice
making peace with love & betrayal
trials & tribulations
all that was found & gone
with snap of finger
was destined likewise
& then paying a hefty price
accepting with grace 
firming faith

The edifice that laid beneath
in the land of mortals
a tombstone adorned
with lilies & dandelions
rested atop in fond reminiscence
of a being that departed to return 
where it belonged
