A Visual Treat






               



                                                       
                   1)          The wintry chill is gone – a bright and warm
                                 Weather comforts the morning calm ;
                                 Nature, too, seems to feel the change of time
                                 A dynamic thrill I feel in this clime .

                   2)          The dew-cleared grass in freshness shone
                                 Welcoming the golden rays of dawn ;
                                 A flood of violets sprang up far and wide
                                 Spread all over like a swelling tide .

                  3)            Like festive pilgrims crowded all at once
                                To participate and swing in ritual dance
                                 In a hamlet remote in jungles dense
                                 Echoing cheer and piety immense.

                  4)            The shades of purple painted every herb and nook
                                  Every bower and bush with jubilant look
                                  Who called these merry fluttering fairies bright ?
                                  With delicate silky faces —a thrilling sight !

                 5)              What message lurked behind these bursting hues ?
                                  What intimations this season renews ?
                                  My hardened feelings under the daily grind
                                  Woke up again with a sympathetic mind ;


                 6)               My lost sensations began to sprout again
                                   Free from stress, vexations and strain
                                   True joys lost long ago under the mire
                                   Of unending strife and struggling desires.

                 7)              This carnival of mirth I find nowhere
                                  Their laughing looks perfumed let me share ;
                                   Let me forget and leave these worries behind
                                   Like these flowers let me be happy and kind :

                 8)               Let these charms unfurled in vibrant colors inspire
                                   My bosom with hopes like Spring with festive fires
                                   When I view these purple lavish bunches sweet
                                   A sensuous feast I felt —a visual treat.
