Women In My Family

Women in my family 
                                    are a poetic bunch…
                       they are in trance at glimmering sky when
                     only a blazing red dot visible at vermillion dawn.. 
                               they feel mesmerized with 
             trilling and twittering of homecoming birds at falling dusk. 
              when darkness descends on mountains, evening breeze 
                            lulls the lustrous petals of purple, 
                         and pink, yellow and maroon flowers. 
                      when fireflies scintillate like diamonds in tiara, 
                        crescent moon inspires them to fall in love..
                           heart fondly caressed by memories 
                      of untainted youth..poetry of nature unwraps 
                                            layers of their
                                                  soul
