We Too Blossom In Camaraderie

It took me sometime

To realize

How brooding overpowers

When one is left alone

And no one is around to share agony

None pulls you up too

From the well of timidity

The other day ...

One of my potted plants in my modest balcony

Hung head down in remorse

I watered, caressed ...

Even spoke a few soothing words

But nothing helped

It continued to be in a miserable state

I thought for a while and brought the pot close to its pals

When placed in the community

It started smiling

Exuding gratefulness

A lesson I learnt from the small plant-

"We too blossom in the company of folks

A sublime track to reach joy and happiness."
