Night slipping through blind to wrap him around
the dry twigs rubbed against the arid land
the dusty gust left the sand particles blowing and howling
the arrival of heat
He thought of the smooth sailing winds
that balmed his soul
How they caressed his face
Asif playing piano, the vibrations matched his heart beat
outside the sea curled its waves,
the foam rush towards rocks
to mingle and meet
Sitting in his car the breeze blows his visage
Does this sound has an intent to embrace?
The solitary wind’s wish to
whizz pass its companion
flirt a bit and then escape
The tickling lukewarm winds
they sing the melodies of the lingering sun
as it cools and invigorates the world
As the lightening gleams and shrieks displeasure
at the pitter patter of rain
gossiping with earth
So connected but so apart
so much unheard and unsaid buried in heart
stamping its feet the lightening starts
at the infidel clouds
above so charming when lone
down they transform as if unknown
hither we come thither we go
the mother earth whose bosom we fed on
there we lie in lap that seems our own
Asif chuckled at the clouds kissing the earth
When calm so much you glean
now sitting under the grove
where the birds chirp
at his arrival
and perch on his shoulder
as if to placate him “why so calm?”
he thinks a while
at the chamber of therapist
each word he pronounces
many a time
but a little stammer makes mother’s brow arched
he smiles as he stumbles
escapes from there and reaches a bower
where bird sings and petals are showered
the bee buzz without a care
the cuckoo sings as she stares
the song of men are melodious balm
the exchanges of nature
have soul searching charm
