WHEN WORDS AND PAINTINGS COMBINE PART TWO

There’s Optimism in the Air Today

A sonnet

“Optimism” painting by Monoreena Acharjee Majumdar

This icy chill, I feel it in my bones
but not for long when looking out today
at golden rays against these blue unknowns
most certainly the spring is on its way.

Amazing how one’s spirit sure does rise
to see these painted flowers drenched in light.
Exploding gold in fields of blue, my eyes
look further up these stems, green leaves in sight.

There’s optimism in the air today
seen rising with new growth and glory both.
The chill of winter’s come and gone away,
as better days are here, I make this oath

to ring away cold winter’s doldrums fast
and hear that peal of vanquished ghosts at last.
