Natural
Colours

Nature's green spread over,
on the bank
of the river,
nice bed for a siesta,
enveloped in the coolness
of
frolic summer breeze,
under the shade of the trees.
Kingfishers sit in the
bushes,
white ducks are ashore,
birds rest in the trees,
water hums to
the tune of flow,
a song on solitary silence,
accompanied by a
woodpecker's tappings.
Leaves rustle as the breeze blows,
yellow leaves
fall from foliage.
A chameleon in green, mingles with leaves,
dry brown
leaves compete with breeze,
sky shows its nudity in blue,
drowsy eyes
close their lids,
paving the way for a dreamy darkness,
under the shiny
afternoon sun.
