Notes About The Poem

Cadence of a Seashore

frolicking with waves on a tranquil seashore…
                     saffron-hued  sapphire waves rolling away, 
                      a mesmerized child, carried the memory…
                 reminiscence of a blissful awe-inspiring cadence. 

                        a buddhist temple on the sublime shore, 
                    melodic symphonic chimes soaring from above, 
                          serenaded me to my forest of dreams, 
             where gentle humming of a chartreuse waterfall ignited 
                                      creative inspiration. 

                 to this day, I often stop, close my eyes, drown myself 
                      in a reverie inspiring my imagination lavender ...
           

         I, a traveller from the ancient world of history walking through ages, 
                  crossing rivers and seas, hills and dales of the universe, 
                        in search for love, kindness and inner peace.

Mala, I can feel the "cadence" of the peaceful waves and see the "saffron hued sapphire waves." I love the way you use color and vibrant, visceral words to drop us into your beautiful scene of chimes and waterfalls and the endless "cadence" of the seashore. Cadence - great word! Wonderfully done. Congrats and highs! Blessings of "love, kindness and inner peace" for you dear friend.

lovey poem and creates a fabulous atmosphere in the mind! I had a similar experience living on a hill station and temple bells from a nearby temple on a different mountain would chime across every morning. Congrats on your win!

Thanks, Krish. Living on a hill station hearing temple-bells, must be surreal!
