Ecstasy-1 Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Spending
Of moments
Roaming around
In the bracing air
Air of freshness
Wherein-
Pen, paper and ink
Of a poet bloom
A new born child
Whistling and dancing
Merry making
Into the circuit of nature.

Spending
Of moments
With tree-leaves
Squirting
Forth the water-falls
In the midst of
A brilliant pearly spray
Spraying
In the form of mist
Mating close by
In the lanes of love
He and she pea-cocks
Dancing with echo
Echo of its love song
Under the budding trees
In an ideal ambience
Ambience of romance.

Spending
Of moments
Watching
The cruel images-
Pouncing
Hunger-driven
Crazy beasts
As criminals
At the innocent ones
Robbing the victims
Or their young ones
Of basic right to life
Balancing
Though, the nature
Leaving
The rest anguished
In incessant havoc
Seething somewhere
Deep in the heart
Changing into gloom
The whole scenarios.

Spending
Of moments
Visiting down
The memory lane
Sinking
Deep into the mud
Mud of blissfulness
For simple peace
And co-existence
Pondering
Over and again
Exploring-
Great art and craft
Preserving
Its rustic charm
Appealing
To all human senses
Without
Teasing the mind.

Spending
Of moments
With nature-
The historic tree
Tree of distress
Gets arid and dry
Facing nature
Face to face
The hills capes
From mountain huts
To the seashores
And the landscapes
The dense forests
The sights and sounds
Of the countryside.

Spending
Of moments
A subject matter
To pen down
In all its glory
A spring of eternal joy
Quite so hard to miss.
