Adieu Homeland! And life Cycles..

After clocking in days, seasons and years.. time to bid bye!

Leaving shores of homeland
as tears stared at the sky!
The moon and the gentle wind ushered by
Don’t you cry!
The Sky and the Sun
eternal friends
wherever you go!

Coffee corner with relaxing music
Water tricking over the pebbled brook
Laden violets bending for the lake
A little jog by the park
Ah! making me feel home again!

Towering temple of Redwoods
opening the golden dawn,
Tufts of white clouds floating by midday,
Pink hues waving west a bye.
What a canopy of Sky!
Cycle of Day it is!

Buoyant Trees posing arms with dangling leaves
Flowers smiling in perfection
The wind drumming leaves
Enchante, Joy of life indeed!

Trees baring cold Winters
waking to call of Spring
laden with blossoming flowers
O surreal and humbling offering!
Summer busy ripening of fruit
and the golden dusk of Fall!
Cycle of time it is!

Voila!
The language of nature!
Signals, math and literature
Making me the poetess explorer!

La vie la en roses!
Life is beautiful and pink!

O homeland so dear,
Gratitude merci!
As I will leave your shores!
Bless me joy and abundance
Bye Bye, Au Revoir!
