Morning Walk In Woods
I got up early, to go for a walk
Empty handed, just a bag in hand
With cool breeze caressing me
soon reached the Woods
View there was breathtaking
In front was a carpet of orange, red and yellow leaves
more were falling constantly
Took off my slippers, put them in the bag
Barefoot I walked on the leaves enjoying the feel
listening to the rustling sound
Chirping of bird's resounded the air
I looked around to spot a flying beauty
At that moment saw a butterfly
It was black with intricate designs in yellow
Some distance away was a snail walking slowly with shell in its back
Dew drops on leaves and flowers glittered like diamonds
Beak touching beak dove and sparrow were enjoying
Parrot and gold flinch perched atop a tree filled me with exhilaration
As I walked ahead, sound of flowing water made me stop
I stood under a tree and watched colorful leaves floating on water
Leaves fell on me like slow drizzle
Suddenly a frog popped out of water
only to jump back again
Up in sky, sun a perfect red ball smiled at me
It's reflection dancing on water - Oh! What a beauty!
Capturing it all in my mind, I walked back
There can be no artist as good as God
Nature is God
Thinking so, satiated and blissful, I walked back home
Even now every time I think of the walk, I am filled with joy.
