Only To Be Experienced! Poem by Somanathan Iyer

The heavenly smell of wetting soil
moments after rain drops kissing the earth
only to be experienced not to be narrated
the enchanting sight of rainbow formation
when the sprinkles from clouds clash with sun rays
only to be experienced not to be narrated
the dance of peacock spreading its feathers
at the sound of thunder preceding a downpour
only to be experienced not to be narrated
the captivating smiles of months old child
immediately after recognizing parents
only to be experienced not to be narrated
the divinely rays of full moon on sky
after the rains and withdrawn monsoon
when rivers and lakes swell to their full
the misty moonlight blooming the night queen
only to be experienced not to be narrated
