December

Dewy mornings and starry nights..

Can they heal the wounds of sorrow and despair?

Can they mend the broken heart?

Can they clear fogs of confusion in the mind?

Can they bring out solutions for all the issues?

I feel they can..

When I see first rays of the sun through a dew drop..

When I hear chirping birds along the fragrance filled morning walk path..

When I see flower beds of various colours under flowering trees...

When brave little birds fly off only at the very last moment as I approach..

When I see an idle cat basking in the sun in the cool morning, daydreaming..

When I see colours and shapes of festivities in the shop windows..

When I watch the twinkling stars..

Then.... Somehow I know they can..
