Now, I wanna explore the nuances of nature around me
Ready to break that barrier that has always bound me,
To my abode, my cornerstone
Now I think my soul’s essence has found itself
That I am ready to come outta my mound myself
All around are sun birds chirping,
Dogs slurping,
Horses prancing,
My eyes astonished, widely staring
I simply cant say
Whether its a surprise or dismay
Nature has its own way
This is one place where I can say
I feel happy and content
Where one thing that’s taken a back seat is tempt
I wanna look beyond the hills,
Put my glances away
From all the worldly ills
Then I stumble upon a host of daffodils
I pluck one by the stem
Of all my worldly affairs
I simply don’t care
I glance upon it with my childly glare
All I can find in its buds
Is innocence
I then stay put where I was
Coz this sight flowers my essence
Then I find this baby sun bird
Its nest absolutely absurd
But then I realize its awe evoking
To suddenly find the mother stroking
Her child , her life
Who I find to be unspectacularly rife
Its so wry and weak
But still I find its mother
Feeding her sunshine
Through her beak
I then realize how sensitive and soft these moments are
A mothers love is something which cannot be found
Neither near nor far
All this while,
I thought they exuded guile
But, oh! These moments
And the ubiquitous exquisite grace
Has put a yard long smile on my ever frown ridden face
Heading back aboard
Walking the dust laden road
I ponder over my day
I think, I will come back here
Come what may
Nothing will last forever
But memories will remain
Fantasies of nature, I tell you
Will never go in vain.
