[bodytext] => Remembering of the dreamy age, Fills my eyes with tears, The sights unpolluted and clear, Now changed into smoky and full of noise, Where I played with cheerful friends, Whom ruthless tides have scattered, As the wind disperses the dried leaves, A slight before the dead winter, Some went abroad, some to the Town of Silence What a delight it was! At noon under the blue skies, Running after the butterflies, Delicate and nicely-colourful, Spoiling the mustard farms, Blossomed yellow, sharply fragrant. The indignant landlady cursed, Chasing with a stick wet and long, But we always were out of her access. In the days of torrential rains, Under the noses of flowing spouts, We stood long, making a noise, The lightening thundered scaring, Made me afraid, as if we, The shouting children interrupt. The grand office of God. Then for diving and swimming, Ran to the pond nearby the village, Beside the huge banyan tree, What a delicious bat it was! In the muddy opaque water. Each delight of child-hood, Is soul-sucking, worth-recalling, When before the wintry nights, Played we all girls and boys, Out on the ploughed farms, Hiding in ricks and heaps of fodder. Under the waning moon, Unaware to the thoughts obscene. Often in the downy steeps, In the deep recesses of thick forest, Drank water from the trickling fountains, Carefree, oblivious to woes and worries, Spent days plucking the sweet berries, From the thorny branches bending down, Laden with ripe red fruit. Sometimes on the rocky ground, By the luck benevolent we found, In the fragrant bushes honey wild, While getting the comb down, The incensed bees stung the cheeks, Then returned home swollen faced, And got chidings kind of the parents. The intoxicant spring approached, With thrilling spirit, refreshing hopes, The soft, gentle breeze blew. Made the village drowsy fragrant. In the swaying crops, blooming fields, Blossomed wild poppies flowering red, And when we ran bare-footed, After the fluffy lambs, on the dewy grass, The birds sang sweet melodies, Hovered in circles over the head, Making us feel their presence. In silence at the warm nights, A mysterious sound of the distant lute, Enchanted throwing me into ecstasies. If the childhood be a commodity, And I had the heap of gold, And wealth countless and untold, I would buy without bargain, The dreamy age second time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
