Running away from the doldrums
I held your hand very tightly
For a long walk along the countryside
Hearing the humming of bees
I saw you freezing in silence
Merging with the harmony of flowers
Forcing me to toss the footwear in air
You made me wonder at your walk
On those slender fern with tender care
Enjoying the breeze that blew across
Your angelic face expressed beatitude
That tied me up with emotions unexpressed
Walking and talking, playing and singing
We spent time together along with Brownie
Only to fall asleep out of tiredness
How well do I remember that day still
Wherein I rested on you peacefully
Realising the unpolluted love for once
How much do I yearn to be with you now
When the nights’ darkness has unleashed
Its fears and pains of this abysmal world?
Show me yourself soon……..
I have spoken to the wind to be gentle
When my bare feet go for a leisurely walk
Once again to match your soft paces & innocent looks

Very nice poem Padmaja! The words are so captivating exactly matching the feelings displayed in the picture.
@Ravi - Thanks for your visit, brother.
@Latha - Thanks for your kind words which you always have for me.
How innocent!
'I've spoken to the wind to be gentle'
The verses have quite a lilting tone to it :)
Beautiful and aesthetically satisfying conclusion, Padmaja:
Ihave spoken to the wind to be gentle
When my bare feet go for a leisurely walk
Once again to match your soft paces & innocent looks
'innocent looks' reminds me of a baby looking skywards....Now where have I seen that picture before....?
Thanks, Me. The quoted line is my favourite too, for there is 'innocence' in all of us.
Raj,
Honestly, I was surprised to see your comment here too. How sweet! Thanks a lot.
When we had been to Manali, our hotel was facing the Byaas river. It was so beautiful to walk along the banks what with the majestic Himalayan ranges surrounding us standing in a meditative mood .
The laughing baby looking skywards - haha..... :D
