INFUSED

 

INFUSED

 

Occasional thunder clouds sight,

White crane contrasts black cloud,

Moving like an arrow mesmerizes,

Symbolizes the soul, ignorant life,

Mind clouded with thoughts link,

Striking a light of hope starkly ink,

Look at stupefied a life entangled,

Lifelong worries, tension confine,

Lonely moments unsure of a future,

Time plays with fate duets suture, (a)

 

Good news incentives shower joy,

The flood of superfluous money enjoy,

Smiles of children better half tilt,

Rainy seasons, a few days, holidays,

Travel family glued to sight green,

Mountain road, at the top views,

Dense clouds cover valleys well,

Fog drenched limbs, cold breeze,

The asphalt road serpentine bend,

Hairpin bend rood downward hell, (b)

 

The dense forest wet leaves greet,

Thousand steams from rock hits,

Muddy water from rivulets flow,

Rapids stark fear hissing noises,

Worth watching children enjoys,

Parked my car hill station stand,

Relishing food children demand,

A variety of flowers colorful attract,

Wet earth aroma intoxicate intact,

Clouds gently move over hills,

Lost the thunders lightning thrills, (c)

 

The valley visible distinctly scenic,

White clouds block sight so quickly,

Freshness elegant streams flurry,

Circumvent villages, cornfields, carts,

Touched infinite happiness, peace,

Boys, my daughter is speechless,

Ah... utterance how beautiful, Papa,

Disbelieve nature is so attractive fine,

A gust of wind shivering we moved, (d)

 

Down the hill, steep slopes slippery,

Sharp turns several, the road flattens,

Tearing dense forest rain-soaked,

An audible chirping plethora of birds,

Passing villages that nascent scent,

Cow dung, seasonal creepers flower,

Rampaging toads, muddy soil, noisy,

The village pond to the brim calm,

A cluster of cranes mimics whiteness,

Divine touch to nature infinitesimal, 

Buffalos in slumber in water differ,

Peasants are busy in the field, hopeful,

Dream bountiful produce by October,

Bells of bullock ringing cultivate,

Noticed children laughing a lot, (e)

 

Entered into the city periphery,

Buildings lines up vanished trees,

Water pools, wet road rain receded,

Crowded city centers, noisy alerts,

Home nearer, my daughter clings,

Papa, once more to the hills, pleaded,

Braked my car at the shop to buy sweets,

Lifted my daughter and asked for school,

Class is tomorrow friends waiting,

Her happiness matched that of boys,

Back home enthusiast of schools,

Infused the visit mountain travel. (f)
