Symphony at Dawn
~~~~~~
Across skies, the sun starts to limn
Waking up to a morning hymn
Roosters’ crow and sparrows tweet
In deep slumber, an alarm sweet
Strumming upon the leafy ground
Sweepers crafting a hip sound
Coffee poured and buckets filled
Streams gurgling, dreams fulfilled.
In the kitchen, vessels clang and fall
At a crescendo, milkman starts to call
Telephones ring, radio springs alive
Joggers pant, in harmony all dive.
As the band plays, starts all festivity
From stillness of night, a sudden levity
To awaken me, do thy make all the fuss
In pure merriment, I wake up thus
Fill my ears again, before I yawn
Haunt with visuals of a glorious Eon
From morning dew, a lesson reborn
Learn and listen to symphony at dawn

All this is very much part of India.I really miss it in USA.no milkman,no vessels clanging, no radio or TV talking to 'itself'.I have 2 more months to go and can't wait to get back!
your poem was good.rekindled memories!
I have this sudden feeling that enwraps me out of the blue, of having got up from bed, and stretched myself contentedly all ready for a pot of coffee that I am abt to make.
:)
as always your writing is brimming with a new dawn
Nice picture and a good poem.
In pure merriment, I wake up thus ....
"one who does not hesitate to respond to this call.
IS the cornerstone of PEACE"
Srijith, this poem makes...
ONE and Everyone
Awake each day
with a pure symphony ...
It's beautiful to be ALIVE
