Passionate

A pleasant drizzle.
Dark and white clouds pass
to reveal the bright blue
hidden underneath,
Sunlight comes like happy surprise
illuminating the green trees.
I swim in melody.

Suddenly, a person gives out
a coarse deep cough of phlegm,
Oh! It feels like the sudden discovery
of a foul smelling ditch in a fragrant garden,
the cough breaks my heavenly string of moments.

Books write that I should accept whatsoever happens,
That occurrences are not to be discriminated with,

I cannot.

What the books say should be true
in the land of words,
But I am more passionate towards life
than towards words...
