SUMMER DREAMS

 

SUMMER DREAMS

 

Behold dreary desert in desolation,

A grace cactus blooms among thorn,

Placid lake mirrors blue skies n sun,

Lotus blooms at shore beautiful mum,    

Rocky, mountain slopes flowers pink,

Amazing places nature smile n wink,

Summer arrives; I sit under a shade,

I sink into thought, a solitude invade,

Lifeless a blue sky, the sun blazes down,

Pale n dry earth meadows are brown,

Windswept dry grassland recalls rain,

Animal bird in a shelter, sightless again,

Cool shade under a tree, I fell asleep,

Peaceful my soul lost in nature deep, (1)

 

Bird chirp got me awake homebound,

The sun was sinking in west resound,

Resound bell of cowherd n dust cloud,

Dust was setting in a haze evening set,

A night sky n glittering stars is in wait,

Alone in the wilderness, I wait moon to rise,

Gentle breeze cool touch bit surprises,

Silence let nice music melt all thought,

An unforgettable night if had wrought,

Moon vanished down the horizon sad,

Stars were pale n fields stardust clad,

Darkness disappears dawn unshackle,

Crimson eastern sky birds a spectacle,

Heavy in heart I returned back to home,

Intoxicate nature summer writ awesome (2)

 

Vacation over begins city life heat, dust,

Working hours busy among files almost,

Interaction with visitors, colleagues, boss,

Enchanting afternoon summer night loss,

Traffic, crowd, noise and pollution cover,

Family home unique cocoon sweats over,

Summer morning school kid early get up,

The wife will prepare breakfast and teacup,

Peace, tranquil, silence forgotten I watch,

Getting fresh up I dress n run for a catch,

Bus or metro, taxi if late, office time wait,

Run hasty limbs, runs mind, life in a duet,

A reclined limb in leisure relax under a tree,

Summer afternoon cool shade tension-free,

Time never recall drowsy eyes n solitude,

Human life, do or die, head to tail attitude, (3)

 

Office hour darkens, halt a thunderstorm,

A dark cloud, cold wind, weathers reform,

Steal a glance; look outside, all handsome,

Blazing sun no more torture act gruesome,

Trickle thoughts rain in forest brook swell,

Season arrive evergreen nature fresh well,

Animal, bird, dry earth soak drenches hell,

Aromas of wet earth, unique nature smell,

Forget I quick in office, work, lifestream,

I slept, calls wilderness, a summer dream. (4)
