The Sanctuary

At the epicentre of noise and distraction lies a Quiet. A place where thoughts find freedom, where words find meaning, where every second finds a purpose and every moment finds its place in the scheme of bigger things. Welcome to a consortium that will make you feel Alive. Welcome to a place that is 'Uniquely Yours'. Welcome to the Sanctuary...

Rendezvous with nature

Droplets of water falling off your lash…the eyes don’t want them to leave
Just when you thought you were dry…the clouds begin to grieve

A sideway glance down the hills…mist slowly curling up to you
You seem to be happily stuck – between the mint green and golden blue

Damp, soft, the leaves beneath your feet…all yellow, green and brown
Welcome to the jungle – you’ve just stepped into nature’s little town

Hues and shades sprinkled around…on a canvas so colossal and pure
You know you’ve lost your way…yet an unknown mystique seems to lure

Deeper and deeper within…you tread not knowing where
An awe inspiring splendour surrounds…making you want to stand and stare

The warmth of good company…of laughter, conversations n more
Magnifies the joy manifold…high on life – your spirit begins to soar

Tired legs giving away…to an incandescent soul
The misty mountain air seeping in…making you feel whole

The peace, the quiet, the silence – tranquility abounds
Broken by the merry twitter of the birds…a symphony of sounds

A haven for the longing heart…where worries have no place
It is in the Sanctuary that I seek refuge…where my soul finds solace

The slightest touch of the breeze…kissing you lightly as it ruffles your hair
For the touch that lingers long after –Oh! I’d give up all that’s there!

The day when everything’s just purrfect – when you sweat without being tired
Like the day your boss decides to let go – you goof up and yet aren’t fired

With fluffy clouds and crispy cool air - the weather decides to pamper
Even as crooked crabs and pesky bugs beneath your feet scamper

Soon its time to leave…leave behind the wondrous wonder
Wandering you’ve come afar…wish you could go yonder

Was it a dream, a reverie, a mirage – that vanished even as I gazed?!
Rendezvous with nature n back…awe-struck…dazzled…dazed

Warmth,
Ember

Innocent, simple, pure - you haven't adulterated nature in your thought like most of mankind has. Cuz' beauty is in the mind after all. "Nature and man has oft waged a war. Veil after veil has been lifted. Man has unearthed fascinating secrets. He thinks he's ahead. You never know. One day - Nature may just end the game" :)

An ode to the most beautiful power - Nature
