Bath In the Path
On a marvelous morning in Ooty
I was inside the beautiful Botanical Garden
On seeing colorful flowers, plants and trees, mind became empty
Courtesy of the goddess of gardeners gladden
Formally fashioned flora flaunts a feast
Lie slope by slope like a terraced layout over a large area
All set bench by bench in an order of taste
small, tall, taller and tallest trees set, with clear idea
Breeze had filled my heart and soul
I walked from left to right and right to left
Again ups and down, to cover every area in full
Soul soothing sunlight too was soft
Many were soul stealing scene
Plenty were the photogenic places
Both seasonal and perennial flowers, kept clean
With camera, you may see several smiling faces
Delicate flower pots were decorated inside glass house
Seen few birds bathing in bond, before I climbed up to that stretch
Fragrance of fascinating flowers fed my nose
I begun to climb down after a soulful catch
It was a small pathway, as a shortcut to reach down
I was cautiously climbing down to the pond in ground level
With thoughts of this bustling former pastime British town
Continuous drops of water from tree was quite novel
With smile, I found birds on the treetop fluttering after the bath
With this, not only the climate but my soul too became chill !
With more drops falling on me, it was a virtual bath in this path
With such blessings, my mind began to stand still !
