White Herons Poem by Saroj Padhi
White Herons
These white herons brooding near me
want to say something
as they retract their long bills,
meditate for a while
look up to the cloudy sky
with no desire now to fly
as their feet on green grass
get soaked in rain
the butterflies drunk enough descend
from long lip-locks with flowers
to swirl across their faces for sometime
and not to come back to me again.
These herons with peace in their plumes
surrounded by butterflies of many hues
transport me into joys
that at the heart of Nature lie
offering vision of God
beauty and bliss
for which human hearts always sigh!
Very nice. i would like to use this in my September 2018 showcase of poems by PH members. your name will be given twice. this month i plan to highlight poems by poets of the Indian subcontinent. any questions, please ask, using a message. i don't come back to look on poem page for responses. did you write in English or Odia first; do you HAVE an Odia version? i would use it also if you inform me of it in a PH message.
