In Search Of.... Poem by Rajeswari A V

I looked at the pasture with passion
And watered the peeping flowers
With honeyed droplets of fondness
I giggled with the swarm of bees
Waved to the winging birds
And listened to the murmur of soil
Never uttered words, but sang from heart.
Then met people from far off
In fine clothes and strange perfumes
The sky showed it’s seven colours
And birds sang for the new guests
The trees gave them, shades to rest
And lakes made them barren of thirst
But they dug in return, here and there
And ruined the meadows with axe of greed
Shot the sparrows with their cunning stare
Filled the valleys with poisonous wastes
And robbed me of my gift to love
Here, I am so worn out
In my search of my lost love
I seek with all my might
To find out its lost glow
