It is Poetry

Beneath the layers of the gift of Life,

Lie ubiquitous phenomena and incidences

Amidst all the hardships that no fellow can ever escape,

It emerges as the soothing solace

Far from the madding crowd,

It is the petrichor suffusing mud home of the farmer

It is not the glory of youthful years; rather wisdom of the ancient sages

It is clearing out of the vortex inside my grey cells,

It is the spiritual enlightenment by the Muse

It is a vagabond and a gypsy, wandering in jungles and deserts

It sashays down ramps of philosophy; swaggering in a room full of intellectuals

It is the fondness for my cherubic, cheerful childhood days,

It is how I declare my profound love for my soulmate

It is Poetry!
