In the silence of afternoon
Sipping away a tea
at the end of afternoon
cherishes the mind ever so
to fly like squeaking parakeets.
myna plays music
using its chirruping notes
perch to a gulmohar branch.

The early sea breeze
usually embraces in mid-summer
illuminates the memories
of sweet summer holidays.

The mild sunshine
coming out of cold winter
the year’s first raindrop
touched the ground a day ago.

Ah, the poem and the picture remind me of days when just watching the afternoon grey into the evening and blacken into the night provided contentment. That seems like a long time ago now!
