A Moment Of Peace (A Touch Of Serenity) My town, a place of lasting peace Where my troubles begin to ease, My home, next to a serene tree Where I feel so unbound and free. Behind my home, a silken river flows Amid lush greens, she dances free, Full moon shines in a celestial glow Reflecting smiles through the tree. Yesterdays take me to summer days When in the river, I used to swim, Childhood visions lend their gaze Of happiness, filled up to the brim. Fruit of a waterfall, down she came Her beauty remains, as ever famed; Her thoughts, even today, bring glee Enticing me, towards her, to flee. Butterflies, doves, honey-suckled bees Invite me to join a dance and to sing, To rejoice free, in a moment of peace, An instant of an ecliptic diamond ring. ~seeking harmony and tranquillity, who isn't?~ [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 08-22-2000).] |

Hey Sudhir this is a beauty...what a beautiful place you have described, I can see how you miss it so. Love the ramble through the lines and the serenity is well captured in the mood.....ecliptic diamond ring... there are several million people that could use one of those...have a nice day.. |

Oh what lovely images this creates Sudhir. There are 3 waterfalls within 2 miles of my home, and niagara falls is only 50 miles away, the rivers and the falls certainly give much inspiration. This is beautiful. Bonnie |

Sudhir sounds like heaven, beautiful serene calming magical dazzling "Beyond all this good is the terror,The grip of a mercenary hand,When savagery turns all good reason, There's no turning back, no last stand,"I.Curtis |
