Vacation

Lost in cushions of acres of grass
I find my voice in streams that ripple
And winds that rush
Through forests of teak
And soar with cranes to realms of blue,
Dappled with petals of peace.

Shorn of the clamours of routine and tasks,
Tuned into crickets as fireflies dance,
I soak in with leaves my unhurried sun
And bask in the silence that sheds
This, my week-long isle from stress.

You are a wonderful poet, I love this poem of relaxation as gautami says, "adorned by nature."

Time away from the routines is always an enrichment, especially when it is enjoyed close to nature.

Ahhh....a kindred spirit. I find the company of trees, sky, and bogs a blanket of companionship that soothes the ministrations of daily life. Great word visuals..

i somehow sense some bit of vikram seth in your writing...maybe because he is the poet i am reading right now..but that lilting rhythm that can lull you into, not sleep, but in the rainbows of rhyme in your poetic sky...
