The Petals Will Dance Again......

In memory of Pahalgam tourists - a humble tribute to the innocents!!!!

The snowy mountains were romancing with orchid flowers......
The mild chilly breeze was singing the song of love......
The vibrant valley was embracing joy , laughter, giggles......
Hearts unburdened free from care......
The meadows hummed in a peaceful trance.......
As petals swung in a gentle dance......

But aah.......
Dark clouds gathered without a sign......
The twilight stepped in before its time......
The mountains began to bleed.......
Stained by anguish , soaked in grief......

The flowers once blushed turned pale.....
The breeze dropped singing all of a sudden......
The passionate love songs lost their charm.....
As the silence screamed in the tender arms......

The valley fell numb witnessing soul wrenching pains......
Once again hope, love , peace were suppressed beneath coffins......
Once again it seems cruelty overshadowed innocence......
But for how long will this darkness last.....
Though today is drowned in cries.....
Somewhere tomorrow waits to rise.......Swati
