Earth’s Dance

( 2024)

Morning glories yearn to dance

Gentle breeze never letting to lift

Their tender feet off the ground

parched; longing for droplets of rain.

Muddy road next, bears messy marks

Of feet that had danced, ornamented

with anklets billed a price much less

than the water precious, scarce

inside the colourful bucket flowers

unable to bloom and sway in the breeze.

Leaves stop their rustle, twist to listen

while the chatter scatters to all that matters.

The bright warm sun of a hot summer

Vengefully pursues a rivulet silvery, thin

Statistics of a ballet dancer resembling

Lost in her show spectacular, forgetting

The golden beads few, that she throws

Disappears with the rapidness of her steps

Oriented to the arms, black rocks, weathered.

Mind awake in a body tired, exhausted

Eyes struggle to keep watching

The blades of grass dried brown

Swaying in harmony, chanting together

A dance in rhythm with the song of the wind.

Wait the twins thirst and perspiration // thirst and perspiration are twins

for the earthen pot to shower on them exhilaration

Earth breaks into a dance unfamiliar, to mourn

the demise of nature as the climates change //nature dies due to climate change tragedy

Wind and water dance, sometimes together

Turning mankind’s fate bitter not better

Drums roll, the earth’s scream in pain//scream made by earth

Rocks fall, trees dance in frenzy.

Light and shade dance on the remains

Of a forest that had worn a makeup

Orange, yellow and red on the branches

Flames dancing from branch to branch

Hands moving fast with mudras of anguish

Eyes glowing golden with bhavas of despair

Man danced with his greed over nature

Trampling everything green, live.
