Smiling flowers with fragrance enthralling,
Dashing waves of the sea to the shore,
And people walking to and fro on the beach,
I sit and muse over the life of each one!
Stars in the sky watching all from above,
Just started walking children moving joyfully,
Elders walking with stick and others for trimming,
I sit and think about the prospects of each one!
Heavy wind blowing from the south in summer,
The temperature of the day coming down to 30,
Sweating people sitting to get fresh air for relief,
I sit and ponder over the possibility of rain soon!
Small vendors of pop corn and fruits selling fast,
Children and elders munching cucumber in hand,
Vehicles on the road searching for parking lot,
I see the sky above the just started drizzle of rain!
All the show coming to a close at last in a hurry,
All rushing to shelters available near hotel or sheds,
And the rain condescending to intensify a little,
I open my umbrella ready in hand to go home!
