The Gulmohar

Updated: Oct 22, 2023

Gone are the days of heat spells,

Cool winds now calm the soul.

Its the time for Gulmohar galore.

Everywhere around us!!

The sight of scarlet coloured flowers seen in this great weather,

Is just a beautiful view uplifting one’s heart.

Nature officially announces the season change, making us feel happy to welcome monsoon;

Gulmohar has always loved to live where humans are,

The beautiful crimson coloured flowers are seen on the road and pavements,

Make you a celebrity by spreading its red carpet as you walk,

Gulmohar never misses to celebrate its fellow humans and so do we bear its responsibility.

In the drizzle of rain every day, these beautiful dampened flowers, bring in the smell of monsoon.

Every petal awaits to spread its love,

Gulmohar is the earth‘s oldest child,

a hundred years old, yet young as it beholds its beauty by flattering all!!

Delonix from greek, her native, was adopted by India,

Baptized into Gulmohar, and earthed itself in our Indian soil.

Its tender feathery petals remind me my childhood memories,

Plucking in the flowers from my school garden, jumping high to reach the branches,

Sadly dismantling the flower pulling its petals as nail extensions and sticking them over the fingertips,

The slender anthers change into little swords, and it’s pleasant green leaves into attire!!!! Innovation began then...

Playing around the tree‘s shade with friends and enjoying the rain drizzle sheltered in its branches; it’s the love of Mother Earth 🌍

Gulmohar has been part of my childhood,

As it always symbolizes hope and good things ahead of life, lots of hope and positivity.

The vermillion is indeed a blessing, as dark days always bring bright and cheerful moments ahead.

This beautiful tree is a serene beauty, a morning glory satisfying me with its work of colour therapy, painting my soul bright!!

May you live endlessly among us, protecting your sanity is our responsibility for nature is our fellow companions on earth!! 🌳💗 ~ Swetha G ✍🏻 # Protect trees save the environment
