What an open day!

Lush green fields bathing in the sun, swirling in the wind
Today!
Sighs of silence have lost their way, voices bustle in air
Today!
The crippled time throws its crutches and starts walking
Today!
The wetness from leaves and dampness from moods evaporates
Today!
On this open day

Oh Phantasmagoria! An eventful flow of pictures presents itself
Today!
Mixed colors, clear skies and open green glades, are shining
Today!
The penetrating yellow of sun, kisses the depths, shallows the ponds
Today!
But in a cold and shaded corner, why I await a dismay?
On this open day!

Yes! What an open day

Beautiful imagery, sarim, and I very much enjoy the repetition "Today!" The poem begins with much energy, "What an open day!" reminding me of Virginia Woolf's great quote from Mrs. Dalloway, "What a plunge!" And the poem proceeds and ends with an equivalent energy, leaving its reader with his/her head raised.
Well done, I must say.
