“The home of my dream lies within me.” By author ************************************************************** No. of lines; 30 River, Heart, Erase, Gaze, Lush, Tender The Home of my Dream Near the mouth of the river of my dream At the heart of lush tall tropical trees Where the shining sun sparkles its first beams I have nestled my humble little lee From where I can gaze at nature`s beauty, Away from the dull maddening city. I rise to the tune of chirping of birds Stroll to the sweet air of the river`s song Reap the benefits of health as reward Inhale the freshness of air all along Cultivate my own riverside garden Which I till at leisure during weekends The quietude of the clime I relish To survey the glow of my inner self The solitude of the farm I cherish To ignite the light found within myself: It`s indeed, a piece of heaven on earth I won`t like to quit until my last breath. The tender seeds of life I grow with love Which I intersperse with flowers of charm All along the long alleys of my grove Which I maintain for the shine of my farm, For fulfilment of my long cherished goal Of attaining the depth of my own soul. No gales or storm will erase from my mind My deep affection for nature`s beauty, Rather it will ever and ever shine As a sincere, sublime, soulful duty As a mark of reverence for nature As an act of love for Divine Mother.
