UNDERGROWTH

     Undergrowth painted on the canvas
     showing kaleidoscope of feral flower bed.
     Simultaneous two human figures.
    Man is stepping forward 
      on shrubs, herbs !
   Do they belong to a couple or just met each other
    loitering on forest floor
    to explore beauty of Nature.
    
   Not sure, whether face of woman looking front
    or she has chosen opposite direction.
    Long slender straight vertical .
    Stems of parallel plants seem branchless.
  
    Lady in gorgeous glossy green 
     Man in printed black and printed green .
     Both looking fresh and clean,
     looking matching each other.
      
Pleasing pretty panorama in calm cool ambient.

    Man and Woman : Both may be loners -
   whether holding a relationship 
     or even be unfamiliar,
     yet free frolic and mostly like -minded,
     as forest lovers.
    Both are sure to interact in happy mood
    enjoying sublime serene solitude .

     Whatever might be,
     Both love to walk on pathless wood
    Potion of peace offering bliss 
   amidst glory and glamour of Greenery :
   Soft soothing simple scenery
