"Poem of Ecstacy", Poem by N. Mohanarangam.

A lyrical piece that evokes a dreamlike communion with nature, creating a quiet climax of reflection and gentle farewell.

POEM OF ECSTASY

It was a blithe wintry vesper

Strolled I, zealously anigh hillock.

The hillside's scenario was glimmering green

Perceived I, covey returning to nests

Gazed I, the ranting rill

That divulged towards creek

Clandestined the Sun in the west

Enrouted I, amidst clump of tress

The birds were twittering on the trees

Akin to expressing obeisance to an entrant

Else, were they in invocation?

Only the Almighty knew it

Bees were humming around my ears

Was it to enquire about my arrival?

Squirrels those saw me at close quarters

Ran hither and thither on trees

Stood I, beneath the fig tree

By having my head in the clouds

Squirrels threw figs over my head

As though, I was in appetite

Hares were trooping around me

As if, they besieged an unarmed knight

Soon turned murky, the clouds

Strolled I, back to my home

On the way, squirrels, bees and hares

Stood mutely gazing at me

To be cocksure, as motionless as a grave

I am not gifted as them

To lead an innocent life

Soon heard I, an enchanting echo from trees

Wondered I, is it a cuckoo?

Nay, it was a sky lark

That expressed gratitude for my congenial arrival

To me, that hillock's scenario

Gave my heart and soul truce

I wasn't myself amidst the prolific nature

Willy-nilly crept I home, with pair of hares.

N. Mohanarangam is a student of English Literature. Though born as an Indian, his verve for the English language is unquenchable. Inspired by many laudable English poets, he longs to write poems of free verse. He wish that his poems would captivate the readers emotionally and drench them with puns and fancies.
