Oasis At Heart of City
There is a …
A tranquil sanctuary at the heart of a busy city…
Not many colourful flowers, but shady trees, and lush
green bushes,
A serene pond with emerald water quivering with rustling breeze,
Rocks of different sizes and shapes scattered around -
one reminds me of lying Buddha, peaceful and calm,
another - Buddha in meditation - folding his legs in a lotus posture.
There are a few stone-benches around the pond ..
for lazy folks like me! who savour watching!
ducks and turtles are only water-creatures I could see,
some fishes…circling around carefree,
Wish a scintillating mermaid from a magical world
would appear from the bottom of the turquoise water,
to spread her charm around…
Sun shining in crystal water …scattering rays in the rippled mirror ....
A Duck sits placidly on a rock alone… as if she wants to bask in the whispering glow of sun!
