Aura

Posted on the 27 January 2012 by Alka Narula @narulaalka
Have you ever observed a humming-bird moving about in an aerial dance among the flowers - a living prismatic gem…. it is a creature of such fairy-like loveliness as to mock all description.  
– W.H. Hudson, Green Mansions
it was trying to chew a plum with striking red its beak ...... before i could reach it dropped the seed near a stream.....and camouflaged among the leaves.
i  often lay near the tree searching for red beak....the twitter i couldn't hear since it camouflaged and disappeared....but fluttering sound i could hear ,the suspense i couldnt bear.
the night was" oh so sheer "..... i saw the red beak shimmer ,when the sun disappeared.....high tide was on its peak.....the flutter of wings became so clear.
i cried out "my love now dont disappear you are far yet so near " on this mesmerising night .....when the almighty is here.
i tore open my heart and sprinkled the love all over in the air.....the shimmering beak that had disappeared....picked up the pieces of my heart and reappeared.
some one i felt in my arms and the fragrance of plums i could breathe....all i could see was red aura that disappeared when morning sun reappeared.
i unfurled my empty arms , astonished my heart.....red shimmer i could see spread all over on me .....and the seed that fell in the stream lay next to me.
