Spring Times in Plants/Humans

Spring Times in Plants/Humans

An Old Tree in Spring Bloom
Spring Times in Plants/Humans

by Remigius de Souza

In the life of a tree
Springtime comes free

a hundred several times;
in a human life but once,

you may have seen
many a monsoon

but spring time once
that you might live

knowing it is there
or missed forever.

Hold it in your soul
And let it radiate forever.

New Year begins with spring time in lunar calenders in India and other countries.

LIVING IN FOOL’S PARADISE

LIVING IN FOOL’S PARADISE


Once conditioned by the system
Subjected to a quarter century
Of rigors of the mass schooling
It is not easy going, easy keeping
Aflame awareness
In the cyclonic waves turbulent
By the anarchist housekeeper
One tends to buy time
In the memory (of events, images)
In future (projecting hopes, images).
Transient is but Time;
Remi is racing with Time.
