‘Forma’

In fields of flowers, petals in array
Blossoms inviting, a bright bouquet,
The sun-kissed petals, a vibrant trance
A floral mosaic, nature’s sweet romance.

In the city’s hustle, a concrete sea
Skyscrapers rise in geometry,
Windows in grids, and streets aligned
A human-made world timely designed.

In our lives, we see the same
Repetition in habits, in love and in fame,
Cycles of seasons, the changing tides
Unfolding in life’s rhythm, abides.

From a baby’s first steps to a wrinkled face
Life unfolds with a lightning grace,
The joys and sorrows that we embrace
Comforted kindred when souls interlace.

Bright stars in darkened endless morns,
We find our purpose in the paths we’ve sworn.
In laughter’s echo and in tears forlorn,
Life’s sweetest melodies, in patterns, adorn.
