Vistas
Is to look inwards
Visualize vistas
Look for light
Search for simplicities
In small things that hide
Aspects enlightening and
Ennobling, in and around.
Green forests, great waterfalls,
Rocky vaults and arches fine
Hills in the pose of sages in penance
Clouds in geometrical formations
Pearly dawns and pastel sunsets,
Inky midnights and snow capped ranges
Open skies and rain-washed tall trees
The gleam of sun on expanding seas
The twinkle of stars on a dark sky
The glow of moon with rare iridescence
The winter noons
The summer morns
The rainy nights
The cold, the warmth
A mixture fine of both,
The altering experience,
The awakening awareness,
The beauty, the glory, the silence,
The grandeur that surrounds
Brings close to cognize
The destiny, the force,
The future never to fear,
But to hasten calmly onward.
A poem by Jaya Lakshmi
