The sleeping deathly silent earth
The sky dotted with cotton balls and dark clouds
The moon waltzing in and out of them
The whistling winds
The rustling leaves
The croaking frogs
The chirping crickets
The whining mosquitoes
The hooting owls
The bats’ flapping wings
The howling dogs
All projected-
A scary musical night!
She, in her lone cottage lay sleepless
Praying for daylight
She yearned for-
The first rays of the Sun to –
Tenderly kiss Mother Earth
Shine on the trees, plants, grass
Shimmer the vegetation with pearly droplets
Awaken the beautiful varied flowers
Brighten and warm her cottage with motherly affectionate love
Make her sing and dance endlessly with-
The chirping motley of birds
The colourful butterflies flitting from flower to flower
A joyous Heaven on earth she perceived
Soon all fears dwindled away-
A Babe in dreamland she became!
