Two sides of a coin

She walks into your arms: you blossom
Sunflower like, turning to your Sun
Her smile shines in your eyes
A thousand twinkling stars at night
Illuminating the dark of your thoughts;
Her frenzied tunes your feet command
They tao, and dance and sway and twirl
Like a loan leaf  in rushing winds swirled:
That is life; that is Spring
Untimely nightingales sing.

Come Winter months: a climate change
Glaciers and icebergs and tsunamis-lashed
Lands that freeze, thirsts unquenched
Parched throats, begging arms
Vainly waiting for alms
Yet Sun's not down: a storm of dust
Partial eclipse, mind's mirage
Obliterates light in a blink
Emerge anew, emerge renewed
In one more life; another birth.
