Air


As the day dawns on the flaming canvas of the sky,
aureate fringed wispy cloud convoy glides slowly away. 
On the cobalt sea they shower the spectrum of color,
silver-streaked waves spread pearl strings on the shore.

The sunburst horizon of daybreak drips sequins on the sea,
golden garlands glow with rhapsody on the rolling waves.
The ancient mariner in me sails on the wind of ecstasy,
across the seamless expanse of dancing sapphire shine.

After the agonizing night the sparkling new day dawns,
and as the yonder gloomy horizon brightens to entice,
I discover euphoria trinkets hidden in the mist of despair,
find within me a serene sea to swim to the bay of bliss.

The sun of the cyan sky shines on emerald forest canopy,
strips of light and shade saunter around whispering trees,
make nature’s ethereal lattice of mystique design I marvel, 
as I wander mesmerized in the entrancing wilderness. 

I feel the melodic touch of serenading breeze of the wild,
as I waft in its wake to the halcyon horizon of delight.
I reach the mesmeric meadow blossoming in my mind,
as I float breathing rapture in the ambience of aromatic air.
