Poetry

Conversation

On the golden hued celestial canvas ,

With a purplish tinge,

Darkness deepened

A strange stillness

Intensifying,

Our trail of conversation.

Oh! that first glimpse

Like never before …

A soulful spectacle indeed!

Across the expansive mountains

In the splendid rays of moonlight…

Words

Descended……

In glorious magnificience..

Enrapturing,

With love profound…

Now beyond control…

Like the wind..

Rustling through the trees

Or the frail tuft of grass…

His Omnipresence ,a vision divine,

Quenched I my thirst..

At the source of eternal beauty…

Everything lay changed now..

Incredible vivacity,

Illimitable sky,

Pristine realisation

And nothingness

Eluding..merging

In the reflection of

Words.
