Looking out of the living room window he spied a meadow
Lush grass,docile milky-white cows,wooly sheep grazing lazily
Tall,well-tended,leafy trees with aged branches scattered beyond
Colourful,twittering birds - hopping,flying,picking food
From the back-window of the bedroom- the mantled pond
Brown ducks with gracy necks bobbing,swimming
He hobbled down the rickety wooden staircase worn with time
Time he had overlooked to strap on his wrist
He sat on the mud-strewn dirty rock beside the pond
Tiny eyes of starfish running helter skelter
A small muddy island beyond graced by a frog
Peacefully seated --- satiated with the hues of nature
The ducks glided towards him ,he fed them flour balls
The mud beneath his bare feet was gooey and cool
Flower shrubs with sweet scented honeyed flowers
Beckoning a love-stuck butterfly its wings an artist's canvas
Happily kissed the flower ,fed on the honey and flitted away
He gazed up at the clear blue sky overlooking nature's marvels
His feet felt cramped --- he decided to take a walk
He circled his house ,rolled onto the grassy meadow
An unusual spring in his step - he ran barefoot
The cool grass soothing his soles - the cows and sheep gazed
The unusual sight of a naked human sauntering,arms flailing
The cocrete jungle and the masked people had faded into nature
What these sights conveyed he was not very sure !!!
