A Green Foliage. Poem by Ravi Panamanna
A Green Foliage.
I was on the road,
It began to shower.
In search of shelter
I made a quick glance around.
By a fence
Were lined a few trees.
They invited my eyes,
They opened their foliage.
Birds were chirping,
Squirrels were creeping.
Flies were dancing,
A sweet aroma was encircling.
Shadows gathered around me,
Leaves fell over the place.
A green umbrella was above me,
An unseen hand was roofing me.
A nest was in the winds,
Little birdies watched the rain.
To the showering clouds
Their beaks played a whispering note.
Rain was hard
But it was brief.
Leaving the shelter
Once again I picked up the road.
Those trees are now gone,
That landscape is no more.
Yet, in the inward eye, I do hear
Those rain drops, the long chirps,
The whispering beaks, the quivering wings, and
I am swept into blissful moments.
I do remember those trees by the roads. Tamarind, Banyan, pepul and Jamun. Cities are encroaching everywhere. Thanks for bringing back those memories.
Truly, sweet memories of nature as such linger in mind throughout our life giving immense pleasure and joy.
Beautiful. Speaks of the necessity of Closeness to nature and against felling of trees. Good
Shadows gathered around me, Leaves fell over the place. A green umbrella was above me, An unseen hand was roofing me.-So beautifully expressed !
The world is a shifting canvas. Things that were are no more. Memories are our best possessions
It's amazing how you vividly captured scenes of the past and intertwined it to present scenario.Magnificent poem. Thank you for sharing.
