Nothing gold can stay
As the deluge of rain dims,
And the sun rays barge in
Amid the marvel of nature-
Emanate the alluring rainbow,
Vivid, vibrant and alluring.
Despite the profound beauty it holds,
With time it too frays,
Out and away from the charming bay,
May be they are right of what they say,
That nothing gold can stay.
As the spring alights,
Ushering those magnificent blossoms;
Of distinct, dazzling and fascinating petals,
One beautiful over the other,
And of their own cavernous potency;
To be allured and admired.
But the beauty it seize is short lived,
Drooping low with every passing day,
Finally to become no good than a hay,
People are righteous of their say,
That nothing gold can stay.
