Nothing More Nothing Less! Poem by Krishna Baalu

NOTHING MORE! NOTHING LESS!



Cool monsoon evening

Tender cold breeze!



Still dark clouds on the western horizon

In the back dropp of the factory chimney

And the crest of the church and temple!

In a perfect silhouette!



Chirping home bound birds

Bleating goats on the mud hills

The whistling passing train at a distance!



Occasional cold swirling winds

Beats the window shutters

and

Brings

The odor of pollens and petals of flowers

And burning smell of rubber scrap!



The plunged darkness behind me

Added perfect contrast

Of the vivid nature outside!



The prolonged silence in the ambience

And the loneliness in my life;

Making my mood to swing to the nature

With no friend or foe around me

Except

the hot cup of tea beside me!



I just slide on the window shutter

Seeing GOD everywhere!

But resigned my self to my loneliness!

yet;

With content in life;



For what I had

I have

And be;



Deriving every pleasure

From every whisper and fragrance

Passing through the window!

Fleeting my ears and cheeks!

Drop of showers

Trickling my hands!



Praying GOD

To upkeep this

Just ambience

For ever till me!



Nothing more

Nothing less
