NOCTURNAL NATURE

Pensively promended I, as impetuous as a poet

To accumulate few jocund inkling on dusk

 

For sure, not as a bard

But,as a novice to nature

 

Stalked I, bare-footed anigh lake

Jabbed some spines beneath my foot

 

Yon reconnoitred I, do any luminuous light clandestined in water?

Else, any celestial gem floats in lake?

 

Nay! it's the waxing moon in the sky

That seemed to tread on water.

 

Paddled I into the lake

To grab some pallied lillies

 

Hardly perceived I any bloomed one!

Had the lillies been sailed under false colour by moon?

 

I knew not their intrigue

Nor had I, prescient criteria

 

Chillness of water benumbed me

Retrieved I, as cool as a cucumber to the bank

 

Is this terra God's palette?

Obviously! nature is the art of God.

 

Dark grey was lake's scenario

Stood reeds augustly amidst the lake.

 

Casuarina broke into tumult

When the west wind passed adriftting it

 

Glow worms scattered round the bushes

Heard I, croaking of frogs.

 

I felt languished by chillness

That pierced my chest and nostrils

 

Homeward bound,strolled I

For I had been there behind my father's back.

 

As being benumbed by drastic cold

I was at the end of my tether.

 

Soon felt I, in the arms of Morpheus

On the grass, supine anigh lake

 

By morning, I began to fly off at a tangents

When an highland lass harped on my shoulder

 

I began to know the ropes of that wintry night

For it cajoled me to sleep resembling lullaby

 

N

o human hardly be preponderate

Than a mother and nature.
