Perception A bird perched on bare tree top, surveys urban scene. Wind sneaks in through crevices, in winter unseen. Autumn leaf aboard the breeze, how with ease it falls. Sights and quiet help to unwind, on instant recall. Serenity Now sombre, now it seems playful; nature mimics life. My colourful dreams at night help me overcome strife. On a trip to Uttaranchal, on banks of Ganges, I felt tranquil as we drove up mountain ranges. Joy Night was out of fairy tale, watching starlit sky. Eased myself out of the bed, feeling on a high. Symphony of colours, forms waits with much fanfare. Tying my white boot laces, brace for the chill in air. Bliss A vacation here uplifts and fills me with cheer. Take off my boots feel the dew, a bench beckons near. Nourished, feel calm and blissful, here, in abode of god. Live your life abundantly, subtle cues I hear, Lord.
