in the mountain's cold shower,
when silver-lined pebbles
leave a mossy kiss on my bare feet.
when silver-lined pebbles
leave a mossy kiss on my bare feet.
Discover unknown winding ways
through gurgling giggling waters,
on the gentle rhythmic strum of
swaying coconut palm-strings.
Coucal’s songs echo musically,
from the chest of the singing valley.
Promise me a brown-winged glimpse
reserved only for the lucky gaze!
Over the emerald green pond,
catch a blurry blue flight of a kingfisher,
as rustling bamboos stand tall,
like raised hair on a stony skin.
An apprehensive dive
into the flowing river,
unable to grasp the current,
toes aflutter flap like wings...
As a dry leaf drifts
upon the rippled water sheet,
let my heart tune in
to hum at the same frequency...
Along the mangrove-fringed backwaters
Steer the boat calmly forward,
as eagles and black ducks fly low
to caress the ruffled wild waves.
An idyllic lighthouse gracefully poses,
upon the blue-grey muffled horizon,
watchful of the angry roaring sea
that bursts onto fish -flavoured coasts.
From the wise ocean to the knowing river,
the still lake to the restless stream,
memories freeze within raindrops,
then overflow from many -a kohl-lined eye.
A life less urban,
wrapped in the rustic rural,
with bitter sweet festive emotions,
I get to savour one year at a time!
