FOREST LOVE

Flowing streams took a pause

As the shadows gave a fleeting glimpse of him

Fluttering birds turned around

For a delightful welcoming

The blissful sands of the bank

Rejoiced with the gales

As if recognized a familiar footstep

The cerulean sky adorned with rainbows

As he waved his hands.

The winds of fragrance enlaced the pink plumerias

Sharing the secret of  the arrival

The forest green bloomed

in moonlight like a mermaid

Or the fluorescence of fireflies

I too stood amazed with Nature

At the transitions around

As if forgotten to wink my eyes.

The four seasons peeped into the forest

With the exuberant hues and vibrance.

I took a stroll down the corridor of seasons

in a mystic trance

 The dry and wet foliage sang the song of love

The rustling song of love.

 With the star of dawn,

I walked down the moon lit valleys of the last night,

 Now a morning stride with the sunshine

Strewn amid trees like an uncut jewel of diamond,

The wind was passing swiftly along side,

walking still amazed at the fleeting glimpse at the stream

And thinking hard for whom the forest

Adorned like a bride.

My eyes opened slowly from a deep sleep

And conscious mind smiled at the surreal dream

But the pink plumerias beside me

Confounding the surreal and real.
