Green

Gentle rustling leaves    echo

A strewn pebble   white round smooth

The blue river     gurgles below

The tall sky sparkles    evening glow

 

I will walk this way   later    again

In the quietness    of an interlude

To touch     the scent green     see

To belong    to be

  2. I like the synesthesia...."To touch the scent green"
    Such a peaceful place to return to.

  3. What a classic close! I also love how you've divided the poem in two parts first setting the scene of the "interlude" and then describing how it feels to really experience it. Bravo!

  4. I love the spaces in this poem, like the gaps between leaves and stars in the sky! It sounds like a favourite path.

    1. Thank you! Yes, it is about a path I once found during a trek along the River Ganges.

  5. Your poem gives me goosebumps, Preeth. Those gaps in the words pull the mind to mindfulness and give pause to feel. Lovely!
