Adaptation

 

It is a golden brown dawn

 

it is spring, snow is all melt gone

 

the grass is sprouting with weary patchy green

 

I wonder how it survived the harsh winter wind?

 

because it was covered under a snow pile

 

then how did it breathe?

 

no air was there underneath the white sheath

 

no sunlight was there, it was dark everywhere

 

that's why it has brown patch

 

and it looks tired

 

no water slipped in, grass is now thirsty

 

but too much water might kill the grass

 

scientist say this is hibernation

 

I would say aspiration to live

 

under adversities

 

I wish I had that adaptation skill

 

and a place inside your cold heart

 

to survive

 

when your apathy destroys

 

my desire to live, my somber will.
