live green
upkeep's all moments,
God so creative
makes things spic and span,
on their own.
house vivid
amidst tall trees,
canopy's reflecting
white enamel.
so serene
as a monk,
reflective of surroundings,
brimming nature
ushering life giving breeze.
chattering thoughts
finding a level field
does a mill pond,
your image disappeared in haze
comes back,
vividly as in mirror
tells futility of stuttering.
time stopped for a moment
suffocated of its travails
in congested cities,
hissing through tall buildings;
longing for shelter
finds sweet home;
to rest and take deep breaths.

Right home is oasis in desert. It is small water pond surrounded by sands.
