Nature dazzles the bewitched eye, <br />With splashing colours of a rainbow -on fire in the copper sky, <br />With cascading waterfall- flirts a roving butterfly, <br />With shooting stars banished-to light up the Milky Way, <br />With a hovering humming bird that belittles the peacock dancing in the rain, <br />With glowing fire-flies—on their backs hold torch to a visionary dream. <br /> <br />Nature disperses the incense of fragrances, <br />Of a damasked rose-held together by reckless thorns, <br />Of coy jasmines-blooming only in the twilight of false dawn, <br />Of sandalwood limbs-where lie twined the vilest snakes, <br />Of earthy smells-wrought of dry earth in summer rain, <br />Of spring flavors—ripped, ooze out in their best form, when treaded upon. <br /> <br />Nature plays tenors to the patient ear on tinsel wings, <br />In birds calls-mountains echo in the wee hours of the morning, <br />In a shepherd’s song—thaws to tears the simmering heat, <br />In whispering trees—shedding leaves in the stillness of the forest, <br />In pounding waves –shores sing their victory over lost distances, <br />In pattering rain — from heaven’s lowered eye-lids the foliage bears the bruises. <br /> <br />Nature’s largesse—offerings to a savoring tongue, <br />The ripest fruit—harbors the loathsome slithering worm, <br />The sweetest grape—wrought from the most twisted tortured vines, <br />The Honey sweet nectar—stolen from ten thousand flower's confines, <br />The morning dew—lands with a stony thud onto the blossoms still beating breast, <br />The berries bountiful of prime spring – clothe nature in her wedding dress. <br /> <br /> Nature is the hand of God ruffling earth, sometimes in mirth; <br />With the passing of this entire birth, in my arms I could measure it’s girth, <br />Still miss—and turn my living soul to stone; <br />To be reborn with my heightened vision of his melancholy art, <br />He did put love in my heart! <br /> <br />x-x-x <br />Seema.Joglekar <br />5th Dec-2009<br /><br />Seema joglekar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-love-6/
