Umbilical Links.....

My blogging and FB friend Sandhya Kumar, clicked this wonderful photo on a family trip to Munnar , in the southern Indian  state of Kerala.  I have an inkling about what this flower is, but I a not sure.

Sandhya posted this as part of her Wordless Wednesday Series....

Somehow, the entire  design, life dynamics, and ethos of this flowering wonder, seems  to  hint at something....

I tried to find out, what ....

So many
ensconced cozily,
in a green mantle,
new to this world,
facing a world
together
with
brothers and sisters
of various ages,
but the umbilicus
still strong,
and uncut,
piping continuously,
strength,
support,
and the ethos
of
living and giving,
as they prosper together
in the Sun.

And those with
the evolved
fancy
cerebral cortex,
inexplicably
in a hurry
to severe the umbilical links
one by one.

In a hurry
to
work,
earn,
and design,
a green monetary mantle of their own.

Living, yes,
but
giving ?
