The blooming ~----------------~ Early morning rays From the summer sun, Dawn is born, twilight mist stays, Dewdrops on the bud, run Down, at a leisurely pace, As he enjoyed the cool space, Between the dawn and the morn, Gazing at a bloomer being born. As lovely petals uncurled, A tiny droplet shone, Nature's beauty unfurled, Diamond shaped, 'twas a unique stone, A bead dazzling like a crystal sphere, Happy sounds of birds he began to hear, Between the dawn and the morn, Awaiting a bloomer being born. A garden where daisies and lilies posed, There it was blooming, a lovely rose, Impatient, he waited in front of a door closed, Anxious, as the morning sun rose, A tiny wail, a shrill cry he heard, quite hoarse Smiles all around, 'Congratulations', said the nurse, 'It’s a boy'. She added, 'and the mother is doing fine' Relieved, thanking God, he thought, 'the bloomer is mine'. ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~ [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 06-13-2000).] |

This is a wonderful poem describing the beauty of life. I really enjoyed it! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

This is probably the most beautiful of all tributes I've ever read on the birth of one's child! This is absolutely remarkable! Did I tell you I liked it? Keep this one, Sudhir...it indeed has on it the mark of "Legacy"! Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |

Karilea, I am touched and blessed by your words.. Thanks a lot. This has given me most joy... Ruth, Thank you too...your words of appreciation matters a lot to me. Many warm regards from me...to all of you... Sudhir My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself, Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night, Still there are the questions, no answers in sight Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor, Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door... You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange ~ Strange ~ Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream) |

Sudhir, wonderful beautiful. As lovely petals uncurled, A tiny droplet shone, Nature's beauty unfurled, Diamond shaped, 'twas a unique stone, A bead dazzling like a crystal sphere, Happy sounds of birds he began to hear, Between the dawn and the morn, Awaiting a bloomer being born. really enjoyed this poem. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one". Edward Keating ----- |

~Sudhir~ You have "blossomed" into a great poet! This brought a smile to my face. Perfect imagery and description. What a unique and beautiful way to look at nature and relating it to the beauty of the birth of a child. Take care, Melissa Honeybee |
