Notes About The Poem

A Moment of Tranquility

ultramarine unfathomable sky, with a hue of gorgeous crimson, 
                      just a hint of dazzling mystifying dot in the east, 
                  then it grows larger, enveloping the ruby-red horizon, 
             a panorama of stars still blinking…in a kaleidoscopic canvas, 
                       sky studded with millions still glistening, 
              strangely a silvery moon, refuses to disappear, although her                                                       
                           omnipotent contender is about to rise.

                         a few white pristine clouds floating carefree, 
                         bringing tangerine dreams from yonder hills. 
              the cooing melody of birds serenade me away to a forest afar, 
               the symphony of chimes soar from a Buddhist temple on the seaside, 
                        sapphire waves on the tranquil beach rolling away,

              from me, as I rest mesmerized weaving a tapestry of dreams.
