Blink

Long ago not so long one summer

Girls walking in the dense woods

Looked at pretty purple flowers 

Like a cushy mushy carpet 

Enticed by the purple beauties

They bend down gently feel the creeper

In a blink , the leaves yelled

Touch me not and hid away

They ran to a Big Banyan tree

It felt like an entire cosmos

Birds were having a conference

In a blink, hush they all flew away

One spotted a colourful Butterfly

It had yellow blue red and orange

Resting on a large wild orchid

Closer they went, In a blink its gone

Girls exhausted went to a stream

Streams dancing twirling into springs

Fishes kissed the air or practicing syllables 

Blink, against the flow they swam away

As the journey continued

They got stuck in a morass

Struggling they dragged their feet

Sticky boots heavy legs they got out

The birds returning home

Sun yawning in need of a coffee 

Blink! out of the woods

Time to call it a day 

In a blink you enter and exit

Those tiny moments of eternity 

One blink and life becomes topsy turvy

Long ago not so long ago..

We exist in a Blink
