To An Eternal Garden of Spring, That Cocos Bloomed in me!

Updated: Apr 13, 2024

Blue has always been my colour, I guess

God too chose it to paint his sky,

For you can never contain, label, Nor limit Something so- infinite

But since Coco came into my life, He Shone such-Exuberance, that the browns of my undertones,

Got swallowed in colours of His Presence

At times it’s a kurti soaked in his yellow, like the warmth of his Sun, to remind me-

“That Do Not Bury That Girl; Who lived life on her own terms!”

at times it’s pastels of Pinks & Greens to remind me that he’s bloomed my heart into

“An Eternal Garden of Spring!”

& times it’s a sari soaked in light-

To Celebrate “My Cocos Selfless life!!!”

& how through my darkest of nights,

Those zari-laced borders remind me that at the end of a tunnel, there’s Always His-light!

So what if they forget to See,

That Spirit within,

lost in the darkness of circles,

That your eyes through pain carry,

Mom you dress up in hues & do All the things that you Always wanted to- & Be Happy!

Yes, it Happens…They Forget in this pain,

That I’m still a girl..

& Knowingly-Unknowingly

Coco has brought within this Change, Where in each colour,

His Essence in my heart & through clothes-

I Carry!!!

There are many ways to carry our loved ones whom we’ve lost in form…

But To me it’s to carry them in All Things Big & Small!

#For Coco

Yesterday I Channelised All of my pain, by doing this painting of a Self portrait in a mirror. I feel this is the best way to let pain be!
