A new route,
on the road,
one side river,
other side rock....
On a cloudy day,
soft stray drizzle....
with cold weather,
in a shadowing sun.
Inspired I drive by,
tickle that I felt,
of strong winds from river,
or swaying shrubs on the rock!
I watched with awe,
the diving birds...
vanishing briefly and rising,
taking their prize away.
The rustling of branches,
with the falling leaves,
short appearances of wild beings....
squirrel, lizards and mongoose.
The rock side on my left,
full of nature beauty,
large blocks hanging down,
with vines and greenery.
some were flat...
others are too high,
climbing and adventure,
and places to relax too !!
Moving on I found,
few thatched huts,
an old man on roadside,
selling the morning catch.
surrounded by kids,
he gazed with hopeful eyes...
for prospective customers,
for fresh fishes to buy.
hovering dragonflies,
crossing of butterflies
from both sides,
coming near within my hold,
racing along with me,
tried to catch but being alert,
they got flickering away....to their world.
serpentine roads,
with turns and turns,
tree plantation both side,
bamboo, cashew or jungle trees.
new leaves from bamboo shoot,
or the dense cover of cashew trees.....
sweet aroma of wild flowers,
beautiful colors for visual treats!!
I watched them,
slowed down to see more,
rocks, river as nature treasure
away from city shores!!
