PEACE...




Silent orange spreading riotously in cloudless sky
Accompanied by mellifluous tweets of gleeful birds.
Sun beams dancing on my window sill,
Soul inhaling bright dry morning air;
Peace comes snapping, to greet the day.

Thunderous clouds and perennial rhythm of rain;
Tenderly kissing leaves; thirst of grass, all quenched.
Playful children splashing in puddles around,
Heart recording the sight of a blissful day;
Peace makes her presence felt yet again.

Sand, air and water, humming along the shoreline harmonize;
Swollen red glints bruising silver crested waves.
Grey gulls’ cacophony synchronizing in the dusky background;
Tired feet, bowing to the pristine sands, cunningly disturbing the sea;
Peace has a twinkling smile as the sun goes down.

Peace plays her chords in every part of the day,
Casting a familiar realization of her existence.
All we need is a little search for her,
And she embraces all, follows like our trusted shadow.


-VAISAKHI MISHRA


P.S.-wrote it for a competition in college, prompt was peace...

  2. Firstly the post is so rhythmical.

    The song of peace that is always played through the many voices of nature, indeed. we need to listen it, to find the peace. The inner turmoil obscures it.

    a winning post it is!

  6. This took me to the beach on a bright sunny day. I felt the sun rays and droplets of water from the ocean on my face. I leave your site feeling peaceful. Thank you. Very lovely work.

  20. Beautiful post. The calmness of nature as mentioned in this post reminds me of a poem by Wordsworth, Calm is the nature as a Resting Wheel.
