NATURE ALIVE...



Beautiful setting sun
Spreading an aura golden,
Aqua green of the river glittering,
Waters rippling,
Star like bubbles in gold bursting,
The rays shimmering 
On the moving water,
Reflections dancing with the air
Blowing stronger,
Dark shadows shortened, not any more longer.


Cool, moist breeze
Blows over the foliage and trees,
Making them dance and sway
As they hear the breeze whisper and say
That the strife and hardships are now away,
Bringing in hopes of a more beautiful day,
A few water birds still splash and spllater
In the water, looking for their last supper,
The whiff of evening flowers'
Sweetness envelopes everything and covers.


Clouds in various hues,
Painting pictures in gold,amber and blue,
Leaves fresh and cooled
After the hot day, refreshed,
Energised, renewed,
With a new vigour appealed
To the senses,
Filling up with golden dimensions,
As I sit at the river bank,
Enjoying the beauty as the ball of gold sank.


I was watching another day going down in history,
In all its beautiful and wonderful glory,
Silent boats sat anchored
With the golden lights pampered,
Unhindered,
Unhampered,
Making me wonder
And ponder
Whether all this will stay forever,
For the coming generations to treasure.


Pray we humans do not squander,
Devastate nature, nor plunder
The beauties that God has bestowed,
To the mankind gifted,
Keep nature alive, bountiful, luxuriant,
Magnanimous, munificent,
We preserve 
And conserve
All this like sacred scriptures,
So future sees all this as such, not just in pictures.
