… <br /> <br /> <br />“Rise and shine” she said. <br />The smell of fresh coffee conquered the nostrils. <br />She stood there simpering. <br />A silhouette against the window. <br />The scent of aromatic hair oil diffusing; <br />Fragrance of imprisoned jasmines, <br />Emanated from her braids. <br />A dulcet ditty! A ripple of prettiness! <br />She opened the windowpanes and cast <br />The curtains to one side, allowing the morning <br />Breeze, to caress our body, with the sweet chill. <br />Morning mist swallowed the perfume of the soil. <br />Lurked over the vista like smoke, as the <br />Green meadows exhaled vapor <br />.Sodden earth, trying to grin, in the early light. <br />A forlorn tree cast its long shadow, <br />Over the placid waters of the pond. <br />Silvery clouds rubbed shoulders amid the blue sky, <br />While wandering over the hills and dales <br /> <br />. <br />Somewhere, in the ground floor, a baby <br />Was crying, for the mother’s breast. <br />A lonely row-boat slithered over the calm <br />Water of the lake, dodging the water hyacinths <br />Floating in full glory with its purple flowers; <br />Some one trying to catch a stray fish with a rod <br />Birds chirping in the air; in the distance echo <br />The melodious whistle, of a stranded train. <br />The nature in philharmony! <br /> <br />I am in euphoria, a trance, a stupor… <br />I am a part of this wonderful universe <br /> <br />“Drink that coffee, before it gets cold”. <br />I thought I heard a far away voice, <br />Rippling in the air, telling me... <br />It broke my reverie; she was there near me. <br />I pulled her hand and drew her to my side. <br />A prologue to the sweetest moments of matrimony! <br />A lullaby for the soul….<br /><br />kunjubi varghese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tranquility-11/
