Perhaps the universe in her infinite wisdom

decided to splash a color or two amidst the pall

and said ‘rejoice,your being in your heart’

then came the skies,the breeze and the scents

and with it came a gentle presence

a chuckle and a snort and a giggle

in the closed boxes that they live

love blooms against the dark skies

eons back he said,’ familiarity breeds contempt’

but what if it did just the opposite!
