On Meeting Again
The pathway wore a dry desert-like look
No colorful glory of wild flowers dense ;
Someone has razed them down to clean and cleanse
I missed my blooming friends in every nook.
Who cut these tender shoots with merciless hook?
Deprived of green -- What an awful difference!
These crowded dusty roofs appear like dens;
Sheer destructive delight of modern crooks!
As time went on to my surprise I found
Fine-clustered flowers peeping through grass
Revelling themselves in luxuriance sleek
As if by magic spreading all around ;
Unperturbed by selfish human feelings gross
Laughing at me in playful hide-and-seek.

used for cutting grass.
( Even in wild flowers and species one can
find beauty untarnished by artificial methods)
