A piece of imagery..... post no. 24

Image result for frog on a lotus leaf 










Croaking frogs jumped on to the big lotus leaf

Lantern lights flickered far away in the paddy fields

Dangling roots of banyan tree swayed in gentle breeze

Fragrance of jasmine lingered on to the lonely well  

The sleepy tortoise hid in its shimmery  shell

Moonlight spread a silvery hue 

Still waters of the pond rippled anew

When croaking frogs jumped on to the big lotus leaf…..

Nature - My childhood friend

This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me.
