Long, Long, Long, Long Ago Poem by Neela Nath Das
Long, Long, Long, Long Ago
Long, long, long, long ago,
There lived a man named Santiago
He loved to play his pipe day long,
By the rivulet and hill along.
The tune of the pipe filled the air,
Nature the listener, human a rare!
With its melody danced the trees,
The brooklet stopped going freeze.
The sky remained azure always,
The Sun could not withdraw his rays.
He had nothing to have there,
Squirrels cracked nuts to share.
The song birds singing moved around,
Keeping in pace with his lovely sound.
Happy was the man Santiago,
He lived there long, long ago.
nature's rhythem told in music and poetry..lovely poem...
A lovely urban legend well articulated and nicely penned. It's a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing and do keep it up. Please read my poem MZANSI AND THE BALLOT BOX.
Happy is this guy.lives in his own world, plays pipe and nature plays along.he gives us a message, we don't need pots full of money to be happy, all we need is desire to be happy (and something we love to do-even though no one else likes it- so we don't end up doing bad things!) no one forces us to be sad or happy, it's what we choose to be.
Squirrels cracked nuts to share. The song birds singing moved around, Keeping in pace with his lovely sound........beautiful description..lovely poetic diction.. thank u dear poetess , , tony
