Viewing Life Through Lens
a traveller in wanderlust can’t blink her eyes
on the splendor of the place where she passes by
with a dreamy feeling she alights from her ride
gazes in gape to the marvelous beauty of a paradise
ambling along the green fields with bright flowers and yew trees
on the side is a gray mountain standing tall in glory
various birds hover above stretching their wings
some animals graze on nearby spring
colorful insects fly together in shapes of ring
taking a halt in every minute to capture all angles with her lens
in billowing skirt, once in a while sways and turns around with grace
heading gladly at the other end where a jungle awaits
unaware of other animals , some are wild and some are tame
while wondering and looking over yonder
she holds her lens, so eager to see what’s in there
a mother and baby monkey beckon with a clever grin
heart being captivated by nature’s enchantment
feeling agog, she gets in
aghast! two lions stare just in front of her
one looks so kind and the other one is cruel
despite her fear, she tries to capture them with her lens
before running away, two caretakers dressed up like Tarzan and Jane
show up saying, “Thank You Come Again.”
