A sunny morning and
also that kind of morning,
when 'Nature' wishes to present...
a showpiece from its bag of treasures.

My mind jostling with many thoughts, calms down, as I stop to view...

The many many gentle ripples
criss crossing the top of
the shimmery lake are whispering...

Come hither to enjoy the
etched water colour paintings,
I am proudly displaying today -
of the carefully tended trees
and  dense swaying foliage,
preserved in wet canvas,
seemingly upside down.

The 'at times hazy' paintings
are relishing the soft massage offered
by the 'now small, now big' ripples
that dance over them,
the curving patterns and movements,
covering large swathes of water,
their synchronised movement
leaving one awestruck.

The effect  is enhanced
by those shadowy n' graceful,
dark, semi-circular patches,
gracing the neat bunds, which are
echoing with the sound of
joyous sounding splashes, with the
the sun, busy marking stencils
of my favourite trees,
over placid waters.

This potrait of 'Serenity,'
a creation of Nature,
that extends its pleasantries,
to the topmost curtained window
of the nearby highrise
via a cool breeze,
carrying a myriad messages
from a refreshing vista,
makes  me peek out
every once in a while...
thanks to workers
striving to keep the lake clean,
reminding me of a certain something,
that we need to be reminded of...
again and again.
