Sunny days

Sunny days those were

She enjoyed the shades

Yellow and orange

Saffron and deep red

She observed the transformation

Colors of love they were

Shades of passion they were

The intensity was elating

She was just there

Enjoying

She thought

Sunlight will always be there

That Sun will never leave her in darkness

Heat used to make her feel uneasy

But she celebrated the occasional warmth

Warmth started reducing day by day

Heat became intolerable

She tried hard to sustain

But she failed

The heat was too much to bear

Moving away was not easy

Shade was not friends with her

But, she opted to move on

Sunny days were not all

She realized once and for all

She started walking under the shades

Beads of sweat never erupted

The chill breeze brought smile in her face

She knew Sunlight is not all

Life is far beyond that

She understood the stark reality of life

She treasured those shades of red

Red, the color of love and passion

Yet she opted to move on

For her own sake, if not for sun’s!
