<div style="text-align: center;">
One fine day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
clear and gay,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we set out on a jaunt,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
eloping from our urban haunt,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on a tryst with mother nature,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to satiate that primate wilderness that we still nurture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there we were,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after crossing the city - squirming in the first rays,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quaint towns bustling to keep up with the city's pace,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
remote villages with emerald fields and an ever-smiling face,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rolling hills with shola grass, all a golden grace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There we were,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the banks of a shimmering river Cauvery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
calmly letting in and becoming one with her cousin - Arkavathy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cool waters trying to woo,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the rocks playing peek-a-boo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without much ado,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the child in each one of us comes out too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We bask in the sun's glory,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
soakin up (sights, sounds, touch) all things sensory,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we walk with our feet bare,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dance to the tunes in the air,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we giggle our hearts out,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and frolick in the waters, having fun out n' out !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then, she probably thought we were going awry,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and decided to bring up and show us her fury,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nestled deep inside her calm and caring veil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we tried so hard but to no avail,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we were but mere specks in front of her gigantic self.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And she took him in, deep within herself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One step wrong, away and alone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he was gone, gone and gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's when we realize - if she can make,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she can also break !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And oh, that day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was no more so fine, clear and gay ...</div>

for I stand humbled in the reflection of Thine.<br />

I come out of my coveted abode ,<br />
to find a surprisingly refreshing gust of cool air wash over me,<br />
I soak in the feel n gather myself up,<br />
only to be mobbed by a flurry of dust and leaves flying here n there.<br />
A faint but enchanting smell of fresh earth permeates the atmosphere,<br />
opening up all my senses to the bounties of nature.<br />
An uncontrollable joy wells up inside me,<br />
brimming out as i feel a cold prickle crawl down my skin,<br />
and gushing out madly making me dance and run,<br />
as the sky shattered and fell over me in tatters.<br />
In a few minutes, the joy is washed off, and I feel the need to seek a refuge.<br />
I take shelter in a dark shaded spot, and begin to drift into a land of dreams.<br />
My vision betrays me and my sense of hearing becomes sharper,<br />
I hear a deafening blast that leaves me weak on my own knees,<br />
then suddenly out of nowhere appears a fleeting flash of light,<br />
within which the visuals my eyes capture, leave me dumb-struck.<br />
I saw thousands and thousands of brilliantly sparkling diamonds,<br />
gliding on an infinitely long, murky, black velvet curtain,<br />
coming down hard on a mysterious flat mirror,<br />
splitting into a thousand more tiny shards,<br />
sinking into a world I know not of.<br />
I wanted to go out there and grab a handful for myself,<br />
but alas, by the time I moved, the flash was gone,<br />
and I was left alone in stark darkness wondering in awe at the play of nature.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06870015501249888936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609655039365303772.post-7672696130384206562012-02-13T08:14:00.000-08:002012-02-13T08:14:06.793-08:00A Perspective on - "LIFE"<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
'Life' - it is an interesting word,<br />
drives one through his memories, as soon as it's heard.<br />
It carries the burden of one's plight,<br />
n caresses the glimpses of his joyous flight.<br />
<br />
It bears in its letters, the essence of one's being,<br />
his encounters with both dead and living.<br />
It takes one into the world of dreams,<br />
flashes of future, so real it seems.<br />
<br />
It's an expression of one's emotions - so diverse and so deep,<br />
and loads of experiences bundled up in a heap.<br />
Life has three parts - past, present and the future.<br />
but you've got to LIVE in the present - that's the law of nature.<br />
<br />
So, enrich THIS moment with the life of yore,<br />
and nurture the near with visions from your core.<br />
'Life' - it is an intersting word,<br />
and its up to U to make it treasured.<br />
