SMILE

I see your smile...

I see your smile each day -

Many a time a day...

I see your smile in floral blings 

Gleefully flying with tiny wings..

I see it settling on shrubs and on trellis

Then gliding around with scents of 

roses and lilies...

I see your smile...

I see your smile near and far,

Everywhere in nature's innards -

On breast of mountains

At  foot of fountains

On sands of summer sea

On turf of autumn lea

Along the dark wood's skyline

Along banks of sweetly flowing riverine...

I see the flights of your smile 

In cheeriness of solar light

In tranquillity of starry night 

With tender breaths of spring

With freshness of jasmine...

And so you smile..Everywhere..

Everyday..Many times a day...

And then, 

I see your smile  

Before my very eyes 

I see your smile 

In my courtyard's foliage...

I see its labial gesture

Of love, of charm, of rapture

As blooms of smile frolic in pleasure

With dance of waves of sweet zephyr...

And I behold - spellbound

This wondrous gift of Creator --

With warmth of wintry sunshine

With sacred custom of a shrine

Its piety is so pristine

That primal drives in mine

So naturally I confine

As hands deny to reach out 

For any mortal touch of profanity...

And so, your smile ne'er dies

And so, your smile ne'er flees

On fall of my shadow

By blows of my whisper...

You raise your eyes and see me smile

With you I smile, with me you smile --

No wanness.. No wryness..

No calculation.. No craftiness...

It's all blissful.. It's all glorious..

It's all transcendental.. It's all truthful...

I see your smile reaching the sky

I see your smile permeating through

Mountains and hills.. Fountains and woods..

Rivers and seas.. Billows and breeze..

The rains.. The stars.. The sun.. The moon...

I smile...

I smile again and 'gain 

My visage stuck upwards

My body melting in the soul...

I get absorb'd in vast of nature -

In deluge of indefinable, unfathomable,

And absolute pleasure...
