Perfumes of Nature
As I wake up in the morning
Scent of freshly bloomed jasmine floats in air
I walk out to the garden
Fresh blooms sway in wind
I walk toward night jasmine tree
Pick up fallen flowers
They smell heavenly
Placing them in living room
I start my day with ginger tea
I grate ginger add water and boil
Smell of ginger and then tea leaves...
Aroma of ginger tea fills the house
After tea, for breakfast I take out all ingredients
Fresh coriander, green chillies, jaggery asafoetida, gooseberries
Each gives out a distinct aroma
As I eat, I savour the aroma of freshly ground ingredients
For lunch, I use another set of spices
Cinnamon, garlic, cloves, turmeric, chillies, nutmeg
Fragrance of basmati rice mixed with spices and clarified butter feels divine
When sun goes off to sleep, night jasmine blooms
I sit in garden with a cup of coffee
Aroma of fresh coffee, and jasmine gives bountiful joy
Everything in nature has a distinct perfume
Smell of wet mud, smell of sea, smell of leaves
Each fruit and vegetable smells differently
All humans have distinct body odour
Aromas de-stress us,
Smell tells us a thing is good or bad
During a walk in nature trail,
multifarious unique scent caress us.
It is healing and happiness giving
God has perfumed everything for us to enjoy
Be in the moment, enjoy.
