! ! ! ! ! ! Away! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Poem by Nikunj Sharma
! ! ! ! ! ! Away! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Packed bags in the trunk
I slip through the city quietly.
The long distances shall now lay shrunk
as the wheels speed on nicely.
Away from the maddening bustle
as I wind the window down.
I hear the tree leaves rustle
I am surely away from town.
Thatched roof and coconut trees;
I sense love in the morning breeze.
Today the sun appears extra pink;
I stare at life and the missing link.
There's a music in the engine's rumble
as a cuckoo's voice echoes in jungle.
The serpentine road and the crawl uphill
I admire the beauty, the time stands still
Someone silently rewinds the clock
as I stand tall on top of a rock.
Arms stretched wide, eyes to the sky
wind on my face, have sun in my eye.
The evening sky stands clear and proud
Huddle of stars and absolutely no cloud.
The mind counts the jewels one by one
This moment is infinite in pleasure and fun.
Windows open where only a wall stays
I dance with trees, my heart sways
The stereo fills the air with a lovely song
I happily sing, “ Can I stay here all life long”.
YOU SEEMED TO HAVE TAKEN A BREAK IN THIS HOLIDAY...OUT OF YOUR MADDENING CROWDED CITY...YOU EXPRESS IT VERY WELL..THE LOVE FOR NATURE SHOWS UP WELL...EXCELLENT FLOW
I sense love in the morning breeze – what a refreshing feeling! ! !
Being a traveller & a lover of nature, you have nicely compossed this rhythmic poem.Nice reading
Just how my heart feels now are your closing words... Since I first read this years ago now, I carried close to myself the third last stanza... not remembering which poem it came from... but knowing it was from your works... and now I discover it and read your poem afresh... enlivened with the joy of renewal... the dew of your golden pen inspiring, transporting... what skill you have... it is rare and beautiful and speaks of a heart of goodness and joy that uplifts and entrances... do keep writing as your spirit impels you to... this is not something anyone can teach... it comes from within...and it is pure excellence! tfs
What is this life if full of care, You have no time to stand and stare, Your poem made me forget all my cares....great work.
It was so nice Nikunj.... while reading, I actually could feel the journey as you have written it so nicely :)
in such idyllic environs, why not do away with the stereo?
The joy of being artfully presented. I like this one very much. Warm regards, Sandra
