The Waltz Of Nature

Night falls by the riverside,
The sunlit sky makes way for the moonlight;
The trees whisper in the air,
They send invitations for the nocturnal fair;
The earth is green, the sky is deep blue,
The river under the full moon is a painter's dream come true;
The flowers curl their petals and go to sleep,
As through the clouds the moon keeps playing hide-n-seek;
As time passes by calmness sets in,
The moon watches the leaves dance with the wind;
The water flows with a grace so feline,
Blessed by God, the moment is divine;
Between the moon and the river is a one night love affair,
But the bliss of the moment is beyond compare;
This is where time moves in an enchanting trance;
Deep in the heart of nature lies an undying romance.

The Unborn

The womb is it's world,
The birth is near;
Everyone is talking to it,
Yet it's mother's heartbeat is all it can hear.
In the world of pre-life,
Time passes in dreaming;
Although it's being loved,
It doesn't have any feelings.
The eyes don't open,
But soon they will see the light;
The father will be ecstatic,
The mother will cry tears of joy.
The wait has been long,
And ahead lies a life;
But just like everyday ends at midnight,
The unborn will live to die.
