A Pink Parasol

 

The rocks and the waves murmured to know

what strange wind had brought it here, this pink parasol

still unsure if it wanted to fly or lie stillA pink parasol came floating on

and landed soft and safe in the lap of dawn

when the sky was barely dressed up to greet the day.

The masses of rocks leaned with wonder 

to see which strange wind had brought this feather,

some mistake or a miracle that had happened after spells of winters and summers and seasons of indifference!

The dark rocks looked darker still

as the gently seemed to lower their tips 

in an effort to get closer to the thing.

The sand on the beach went pale grey 

as it bristled with a thrill as never before.

like a bird set free not knowing what to do with its new found wings.

Birds flocked and circled in the sky and sent a piercing note to greet.

Summers came and winters passed; seasons had changed with indifference.

After ages something so soft and pink had landed in the lap of dawn.

A divine error or a mistaken sign

left by someone for someone to find!
