Time swiftly rushes by
Leaving silver in my hair
Worry lines buried
Many furrows running deep
Battle wounds on my forehead

Let memories shed
Like caducous filaments
Not burrow so deep
Into the crevices and nooks
Of my shredded, bleeding heart

Just like yesterday
Today ends craving for rest
Hustle has consumed
Moments to pause and reflect
The mind is stunned by fatigue

Crimson semal buds
Semal, also known as the silk cotton tree or Bombax ceiba is a Spring-blossoming tree in India. It has spiky red flowers and fluffy seed pods, which contain a cotton-like substance that was once used for stuffing pillows and mattresses.
Burst forth on tawny branches
Against languid skies
Bearers of the summer’s heat
Destined to be burning dust

My dreams sprouted wings
One alights on the window
In summer’s warm glaze,
Resting from a tiring flight
Beyond grasp, yet within sight.
