We have gone through the harsh sieve of time waiting for spring to come,
\nIt has crossed its arrival time but in defiance of sanity our hopes persist,
\nBut hope is a double-edged sword which can both make or mar life,
\nFlowers have sprouted in our hearts but not on ground,
\nWe have been stewed in the fury of the winter,
\nHaving come through a grueling half-year full of storms,
freezing temperatures, and blackouts,
\nHighways becoming combat-active, screeching-slow,
hazard-prone,
\nWhole landscape becoming cubist art and dressed in the most immaculate of the whites,
\nBut such silhouettes of fantasy lost their magic as the scene stretched too long,
\nAnxiety and struggle gradually framed the eerie wintry existence,
\nHaving been the pawns of winter too long,
\nNow we are looking for the intimations of spring on ground, on trees, on water, in air, in skies,
\nBlades of grass are slowly turning green and the baby- leaves are dressing the trees delicately,
\nThere is warmth and bounce in the air and on the ground,
\nWaters look clean and flowing and harboring life,
\nBirds\u2019 sounds have sweetened the air though they still remain invisible,
\nMornings make a grand salute and usher in exquisite possibilities,
\nThe days wear a serene sheen of shine and nights feel crisp and clean,
\nIntimations of spring are here but where is the spring?
\nWe hope it hasn\u2019t been a casuality of the long rapacious winter,
\nNot only for scene and climate do we need spring but also for refurbishment of soul.<\/p>\n
