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 !!!
