Here the stream is so calm
As if halted by the bridge.
Here the water is emerald
As if painted by an artist.
Here the leaves are glossy green
As if polished by Mother Nature.
Here the ways are velvety
As if designed by fairies.
Here the clouds take a dip
As if swimming with us.
Here the wind sings its melodies
As if inspired by Zephyrus.
Here we meet our memories
Each one is most precious!
Here is the old tree
Its arms are as inviting as ever.
We look up wistfully
Yearning to swing on them one more time.
The birds are singing the same song
That soothed us everyday.
We try to sing with them
But our songs sound discordant now.

HI Balroop, it is amazing how your last two lines changed the entire meaning of this poem. Excellent!
Thanks Robbie! I love your discerning eye. 🤗
How the sights, sounds, flow and beauty of mother nature remains the same, and it is within us that sometihing has shifted. What a beautiful immersive description that leads to this unexpecetd reality!
You are right Prag… life is like a stream that bounces at times and has to shift its course according to the given milieu. Thank you for your kind words. 🤗
Beautiful and serene- until it’s not. This made me a bit sad for the loss this person feels.
That is how life is Jacquie… an amalgamation of joy and sadness. 😊

Just a matter of one’s perspective and part of life! 😊

Lovely words but the surprise await in the last two lines. I always like the fact that most of your poems have an element of nature or positivity.
Thank you arv. Nature and human nature inspire me to create poetry, so they are always in my thoughts.

Beautiful and magical, Balroop, but with that sad twist at the end. Your lovely words evoke mixed emotions. ❤️
I had actually ended this poem at one more time but I don’t know how the last four lines wrote themselves and I had to accept them. Thank you Lauren for sharing your thoughts.
Superb, Balroop. From a reader’s perspective, those twists are creative, provoking additional emotional reactions. 🙂
Thank you Lauren for understanding from both angles 😊
