ECSTASY IN A DUET

 

ECASTASY IN A DUET

Vast expanse of water, the horizon,
A sunrise crimson red color emotion,
Hues painted the sky and still water,
Gentle waves, fresh wind, and moisture (1)

Fishermen in boats netting fish well,
Villagers in motorboats, dream trails,
Deep waters of the Chilika islands exist,
Lush green forest covers, birds visit, (2)

Rustic life, simple folk, different stay,
In contrast to urban style life displays,
Silence and darkness are less of a road rule,
Peace and happiness are visible in life, cool, (3)

The Bay of Bengal cyclone is a threat.
Angry waves of the lake fearfully create,
Weary boatmen anchor at an island,
Storm passes soon, calm water stands, (4)

Seagulls, cranes, and flamingoes fly,
Circle the groups move to shore defy.
Intercontinental birds trans-migrate,
From Siberia, Mongolia seasons wait, (5)

A playful dolphin jumps out of the water,
The visitor watches the camera capture,
The mangrove marshland is rich in life,
Marine life, fish, crab, and prawn thrive (6)

Asia's largest salty lagoon is attractive,
A feeding ground for birds, nests thrive,
Chirpings incessantly arouse the soul,
Stood motionless, bewitched, a goal, (7)

Transcend mural of a different paint,
Not willing to quit, overwhelmed, I resent,
Ecstasy in a duet, flamingoes dancing,
A pair draws a perfect song, romancing, (viii)
