Picture perfect

image

The master nature has painted,
Painted – this picture perfect….
Perfect in all ways and means.
Painted it with gold on the waters still,
Waters still that sink the Sun at dusk,
Waters still painted in silver n gold…
Silver n gold combiñed to speak
The peace n silence in the waters still..

Once I was…

image

I was a river – once flowing freely,
Was a part of the nature lovely…
Through the mountains n plains…
But, I have now become waters still…

From hills to plains I tread paths,
Paths for lives of people of all sorts….
Taking in all their prayers n pains…
But, I have now become waters still…

I have blessing the plains with silt,
Making them fertile, n set for cities built…
Absorbed all the dumps n drains…
But, I have now become waters still…

All my takings made you sick,
To the nature rules you never stick,
Bound me inside the dams n slains…
But, I have now become waters still…

I am the base for your survival,
Respect me and let me follow the trial…
I’m filling myself with rains…
But, I have now become waters still…

Decission right….

Prompt words: Moonlight, tread, wary, secret, swaying.

The stars were speaking the secrets,
There weren’t really any regrets,
On that lonely august night…
As trees were wary n moonlight tread the road…

Secrets that were held deep inside
My sweet lil heart, that would decide..
What could be excatly right…
As trees were wary  n moonlight tread the road…

Decission that was pending for years,
That kept soaking in all my tears…
Swaying n soothing them all tonight..
As trees  were wary n moonlight tread the road…

Come let’s just start it all again,
Be together both in Sun n rain….
Holding hand in hand So tight
As trees were wary n moonlight tread the road…
