Moment From Childhood
The yonder blue hills from the hazy horizon
cascaded gently down the emerald gradient
of the rhythmic undulations of alluring landscape,
that carved the contours of the charming hamlet
where my endearing home was once cradled,
nurturing me in the bounty of beguiling nature.
The pristine panorama of clouds sliding silently
upon the curvature of canvas of the cerulean sky
where my childhood joy soared to great heights
with the colorful kites I loved so much to fly.
A gleaming stream gliding with glistening liquid pearls,
flowed with the flamboyant facade of silvery splendor,
bedecked our sprawling house with an ornate garland,
made of embracing loop of the mesmerizing meander.
On its rippling water I sailed rainbow tinged paper boats
that glided wobbling on the current’s tortuous trail.
On these I perceived to a distant dreamland unknown
my mariner mind with teenage fantasy used to sail.
The boats disappeared with the ebb of the lost time,
in lonely hours the tender moment from childhood I live.
