Reflections Of Childhood SK


The blue hills from the hazy horizon 
undulated gently down the emerald gradient 
of the rhythmic waves of the luring landscape 
that carved the contours of the charming hamlet joyful
where my endearing home was once cradled,
nurturing me in the bounty of beguiling nature.

The fairy flotilla of the cotton clouds, 
making seraphic celestial panorama, slid silently 
upon the curved canvas of the sapphire sky, 
where my childhood joy soared to great heights 
with the colorful kites I loved to fly. 

A gleaming stream of shining liquid pearls 
flowed with flamboyant facade of silvery splendor, 
bedecked our house with an ornate garland 
of a lilting loop of embracing meander. 
On its water I floated rainbow-tinged paper boats
that sailed with my mariner mind
to a distant dreamland of teenage fantasy. 
The boats have disappeared with the ebb of time,
I live lonely with the reflections of childhood.
