melodic symphony of chimes …
                  at crimson twilight…from a temple on a serene seaside
                           ignited a blissful awe in the mind of a child, 
                  after she played joyfully with the sapphire rolling waves ….

      memory of that awe-inspiring cadence soaring to the gossamer horizon 
       serenade me to a forest of dreams, with crooning Koels and Bulbuls 
        perched on saffron-scented bushes singing their delightful songs, 
                            when at tangerine dusk I am to myself, 
  I hear gentle humming of a stream descending from a chartreuse waterfalls, 

that reminiscence brings me back to the tranquil seaside with rolling sapphire waves ~ 
               reminding me of an illusory life, which gently tip-toes away... 
                                 

                                melodic symphony of chimes! 
                                        I am mesmerized! 


               I feel a gush of lavender emotions run through my veins, 
   to recapture this surreal indescribable kaleidoscopic experience in words …
   I find a purpose which inspires my lilac imagination spread its wings and 
                                        rise to the horizon 

                    …at crimson twilight..with tranquil cadence of chimes.
