Blooming Bud by Sushant Thapa
Dare not to think in your imagination that
Somebody might pluck you.
Bloom with all the anchorage and precision.
Many accepted shapes deform
Many neglected things bloom
Their own shapes and symmetries.
Seen or unseen, you exist as a measureless deity
With a living heart and an
Unforgiving imagination
You are alive.
