I amble along as the morning star Unfurls an aura of pale, amber light. Floating in the lake of dim, blue sky; the Bits of tiny clouds waft through the mellow Beams of the partial moon; unwilling to Shed it's limelight and preens herself in The mirror of the pallid, azure sky. The sun rises ushering in a new Day, to mark in the daily calendar Of my life, a start; to begin afresh. Bougainvilleas and chrysanthemums Adorn my garden with their splendid Array, an exquisite beauty to rollick With all my spirits and savour fully. A cool zephyr embraces my body, Appeasing me with a serene repose. A couple of pigeons playfully Peck at each others' beaks, toying in a Sprightly manner that fills me with a spirit So invigorating, enlivening. A pair of martins nestle on the roof. I watch the cerulean sky above, The flight of the birds in a specific Pattern with their wings fluttering ; as if To wish me a ' Good Morning' ,making Me feel revivified with a freshness. The hues of the dawn shade the canvas of The sky with pastels of vibrant colors. Nature's portrait presents a divine charm, An exquisite pulchritude to make all The artists zealous to bring forward their Sheets, to paint using their color palettes. I drink in the fresh air and respire with A vigour, energizing me again. Agile and nimble as a lamb, I frisk About in my garden- full of flowers Of myriad, vivid colored petals: That only presents a flawless beauty. 36 lines |
