Notes About The Poem

Inspired by the theme "Serenity" - contest sponsored by Constance La France. 

 

Many More Reasons

A tall Tree with lush-green leaves in my backyard, 
standing upright like an umbrella gives me shade,
refuge to countless birds and squirrels.

Heart-wrenching tune created by a musician from the strings of a Veena,
surreal temple chimes serenading to the horizon,
soothing birdsongs at every dawn in summer, 
chirping by homecoming birds at  vermillion dusk,
emerald waves lapping on the amber seashore….
collecting seashells from the sand I walk on barefoot,
watching snow falling incessantly and 
creating silvery laces on the roof-tops,

All these and many more,
makes my heart melt and feel serenely thankful.

Dear Sara, I really feel serene, and never feel lonely, when I am among nature. Just got inspired to write a free verse to express my feelings. Thank you for reading and commenting, My Dearest Friend!
