Hide and Seek of Nature

Flowers were snoring with sweet dreams, When the Sun's fingers woke them up; A symphony of birds-chorus, Like a concert, seemed to thrill up... Amidst summer's severe staring, Rain opened his tap so softly; A Ray-gleam joyously wetting… The breeze seemed to wipe her gently... Storm's wretched hand at such juncture, Snatched the small sachets of roses; Leaving the sunshine and shower, Lay cuddling into bird's nestles... Thunder smashed the sky; lightings laughed; Bamboos kissed and the flutes giggled; Weddings of clouds and vapors blessed; Heat flew fear-filled, dreams unfulfilled. ======== O Nature! Play this 'hide-and-seek', With my soul when she's sorrowful; That she might reach joy's highest peak, And dwell there, forever, blissful... “Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy” (Psalms 98:8) 23 May 2021 Personification Poem 150 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Caren Krutsinger
