Without any
forethought, I keep
My heartiest heart
leap so deep
Into the oasis of
heavenly bliss
A quite welcome
dip not to miss
To bloom a flower
of infinite petals,
Brimful of nectar
for winged mortals
And sing in the
delight of full heights;
At a joyous sight
of beautiful sights,
In quick response
to honeyed sounds,
Spectacular nature
wonders sans bounds:
The rain-drops,
sprinkled, sure to refract
VIBGYOR, colors in
treasures to attract
The peacock to
spread wide its plumes
In the glimpse of
blue clouds; joy blooms
High mountains to
shine in the silver stain
The cuckoo to
outpour its pleasant strain
Distant verdant
vales be in the echo
On and on, of the
most melodious flow
Bars of clouds in
many diverse colors
All artists fail to
portray its adventures
Dawn and dusk and east
and west
All birds to
flutter their wings in zest
The moon to sing
and the stars to dance
In deed, a
miraculous event by chance
Streams to glide
past with their echo-roar
Of pebbles at the
bottom after rain-pour
