Millingtonia Hortensis. -The Tree Jasmine...! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

It's a bright sunshine day
Clearly moving clouds in the deep blue sky
So was my mood.. bittersweet.. oh..yay
Waving wind blowing my hair..sway

Afar across...I see tall trees standing high
A feel it's getting blessings from paradise
Long white flowers hung down.. quite precise
Sense of feeling to go near by...

People passing through lane
Looking at the flowery road.. just thinking
Proceed with a twinkle
A sight that gives joy...pearly white terrain;

Green leaves with white flowers..oh lovely crown
Birds eating fruits sitting on its twigs
Trumpet shaped bloom, lustrous five petals... oh beautiful sprigs
Blow of wind...White flowers falling down.. down..

The aura of heavenly essence
Was stunned to see...Just stopped to see
Went near..near. delicate petals..oh Millingtonia tree
Ohh... the smell...breathed its quintessence

The air with strong eternities scent
Treat to eyes..jovial soul..love and affection
Standing beneath it... feeling of connection
Thoughts of optimism.. joy and natural content

Oneself with Queen of fragrance.. just discover!
Ohh soothe, all fret gone right away.. real connection...
Cool breeze shedding blooms in all directions
On tree... shrubs.. road..all over;

Suddenly a flower fell on my head..oh peculiar eloquence!
Held on to...the white flower in my hand;
Dreamy moments at the magical land
Ohhh....smile of blessedness

Felt like it's blessings straight from the skies
Thoughts of fortune, content and faith embrace
Felt the unconditional love and grace
Oh...far and away... cherish the unexpected prize

With sun rays peeking through its branches
Walking on the path fully covered
By the elegant flowery tapestry on the ground..hovered
Themselves woven in unique pattern on the grasses;

Flowers felling down..yet there is aspirations
Sensing season forever flow
Life is all inclusive.. accepting and let go
Gratitude for everything, living with simple expectations;

Ohh...exquisitely scented..such lasting strong effect
Blooms felled..yet filled the aura.. just rising
Uplifting attitude.. changing the way of analysing
Moment that's just heavenly... learned to accept

Joy is not only gaining materialistic things
Valuing this moment and living it fully is the goodly ornament;
Inevitable to happen..nothing is permanent
Everything will perish. just feel the nature brings;

Fallen flowers filling heart with adoration
Worth not lost as you fall.. real positivism
Wheel of life is the essence of optimism
Today you..tomorrow me.. other day someone else validation;

Each to perish..inevitable to happen,
Why worry over petty matters
Only belief gets shattered
Just stop over -thinking.. that might have been

Oh noble bloom.. short-lived
Yet with profound impact, learned my lesson
Giving a feel of happiness with you presence
Live this moment with aesthetic sense.. self revived..!
