I Miss My Childhood Landscape
From the yonder hazy horizon,
the blue hills undulated gently
down the emerald gradient
of the rhythmic rolling waves
of the luring landscape,
that carved the contours
of the charming hamlet,
where my endearing home
was once cradled in its cauldron,
nurturing me in the beguiling bounty
of the mesmeric nature.
The fairy flotilla of the cotton cloud,
making pristine celestial panorama,
slid silently with scenic flair
upon the curved canvas
of the cerulean sky,
where my childhood joy soared
to great heights of ebullience
with the colorful kites,
I loved so much to fly.
A gleaming stream of susurration,
gliding with melodic grandeur
with glistening liquid pearls of elegance,
flowed with the flamboyant facade
of silvery splendor of grace,
flowing through the verdant vale,
that bedecked our sprawling house
with an ornate garland,
made of embracing loop
of mesmerizing meander.
At scarlet sunrise hours,
on its rippling aureate water,
passing me by with alluring rhythm,
l sailed the paper boats,
laced with rainbow ribbons,
that floated with fascinating finesse,
wobbling in the current’s tortuous trail.
On these to a distant unknown dreamland,
I imagined my mariner mind sail unbound,
suffused with the teenage trance.
The boats disappeared to nowhere
with the receding ebb of the lost time,
within the cloudy cleft of memory.
In those adorable tender moments,
gone by like the autumn breeze,
I now live lonesome in winter twilight
with my inner child.
The infantile images deeply engraved
in the fossilized young mind,
trampled by the footsteps
that have walked me so far,
on the transcendent topography of life,
lie buried defaced under the dust of time.
Now, at the edge of the falling night,
I reminisce as I walk the last mile,
follow the outline of the faint footprint trail,
taking me to the end of time,
where I miss my childhood landscape.
