Nostalgia Of Nature I Enjoyed Much! Poem by Ramesh T A

First time when I visited Kodaikanal hill station I was 3 years;
Believing mist as clouds I had great fun touching it by jumping
High and dreaming a lot as if I was floating the bed of clouds
And also I got fascinated to see vapour coming out of coffee!

Thereafter I was able to visit same hill station after 30 years;
I enjoyed boating and musing over the mists sitting on the green
Grass lawns of Bryant Park full of many flowers with many names;
Now I am 70 years to remember that great Paradise fresh in mind!

Many poems of great zeal i have written inspired by those nice
Scenes of Nature and also live in nostalgia having vicarious
Pleasure solving many philosophical prob, ems about life in the
World with great surprise and satisfaction nowhere i can get..!

What is life?A big question I used to ponder over walking in
The beach of native town, Pondicherry now and then seeing the
Sea and old lighthouse and the floating boats tossed up and down
By the waves and broken to pieces by storms now and then here!

For me, life is a journey of a mariner caught in a shipwreck at
Night and reaching to shore seeing the light from the lighthouse;
Thereafter he goes on the desert, plains, forests and claims on
A mountain to reach the peak to mingle with mist and clouds up!

The journey of life does not end there as mystics want to be
Ever to enjoy heavenly bliss having intellectual maturity and
Spiritual saturation point, but one has to soar high walking on
The staircase of Milky Way to reach heaven to be in blissful peace!
