Relish and Bloom – A Poem from Nepal
Sushant Thapa, a poet based in Biratnagar, Nepal, shares his poem.
I plant a secret wish in my flower vase
It is all in me that I relish and bloom.
Do you want to see me flowering for all seasons?
Relish and Bloom
The days are embracing me
I am learning to recollect myself.
Again, the evening zephyr rejuvenates me.
The first star of the evening
Talks to me and invites other friendly multitudes.
The sun takes a deep dive into the ocean of horizon
I freely take a swim in my desire and
Embrace the passing moment.
A faint remembrance of what I have become
Keeps knocking at my door.
I could not stop weaving the words;
They set me free.
It is an excuse to talk about weather
But let me be a mind
Complete with words
In the deeds of dawn and dusk.
Words dream and they beget reality.
The next day is an outlook to be
Kind and grateful for what is offered.
I plant a secret wish in my flower vase
It is all in me that I relish and bloom.
Do you want to see me flowering for all seasons?
