I Yearn

The salubrious crisp mountain breeze

whiffs past

Whispering through vistas of

verdant green woods

A thousand sounds emanate 

mysteriously

Ethereal melodies reverberate

into ears

Beating the best of temporal symphonies

Uninterrupted, the sun glows 

and warms

The vast expanse of azure blue

silent sky

Interspersed with floating flakes

of milky white

Forming magical mystical myriad shapes

Time freezes in a celestial zone

Mesmerized mystified

A vacant mood drifts

into a reverie

A pageant of seasons gone by

flashes bright

A vision of humanity as pure as Nature

A delightful dive into refreshing times

Real people real relations

Real faces genuine expressions

Unwired 

Unplugged

Face to face conversations

No emoticons, no feigned emotions

Unvarnished love, unbridled compassion

Contented hearts 

Pious souls

Man and Nature in unblemished combination

No scouting for applause

No hurry no pouting

Soft summers 

Soothing springs

Camaraderie for sure for granted

Suddenly the parade vanishes

The reverie is shattered

Perhaps by a reckless human action

The thunder of a blasting mountain

Leaving behind pains galore

And once more

I long to live in years of yore

Once more I yearn to turn the clock

To escape the modern era's agonies and sores
