The Morning Muse

With the advent of the morning rays

I got drowned in the lake of sunshine

And in the moist feel of the greens below.

Here I want to forget everything around

Apart from the warm touch of the sun

And the moist dew under my feet.

They call me, embrace me

And make me retrospect

The previous day's itinerary.

My heart's canvas reveals

There was no ink, no thought

That could have gulped down

A few pages of my diary,

Successively kindling my present day.

The lantern yesterday was dim,

I was cheerless, settling those castles

I really want to escape.

As I progress in age

My affection, my priorities

Experience a sudden shift;

I no longer want to

Linger in the lanes and towns

That I sought in the past years

With a notion, those belonged to me.

The unseen waves

The lies behind the manipulated words

That I had perceived once, were my stars,

So unbelievably was my illusion!

The depth of this morning

Erased the fragments of that story

I had been weaving honestly

The major part of my past is gone.

O'You beautiful morning! Thank you.

Your aurora today made me feel

The tranquillity of the universe

And a dip in my own depths

Chanced me to unveil my destiny.

Now, the fathom of darkness

Won't touch me,

As I aspire to embrace every new dawn

With boundless passion

To let my little buds within

Bloom to heal my mind's wounds

And to stuff my pen with the thoughts

Polite and gracious.

I am here born to hear

The melodies of boundless universe,

Taste not the salty tears

But the nector of nature's abundance.
