Ascetic Journey Poem by Konalli Rajeev Naik

Ascetic Journey

Ascetic's bare feet wandered
Fondling the graceful earth.
Nature's grace kept a perennial
Deposit in his bank like eyes.

The poverty river flowing
From the eyes of indigent persons
Ran through the slope of his heart.

The whispers of the eloped lovers
Did the rolling circumambulation
In his ears.

The kisses jumped off the chins
Of the street urchins
And crushed against his Chin.

Ascetic's bare feet wandered
Fondling the weak sand
Of the sandy beach.

The ascetic was static
Experiencing the boundless amazement.

The vigrant wave rushed out of the sea.
The wandering waves kissed the wandering feet.
