    An Open Day

    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.
