Diamond-fluid from grass tip drops
One beat of the startled heart pops
As the brown ground licks it up
Tiny rainbow perishes in mud
Me the lone on looker
A tiny Tuntuni* floats its song
That alights in heart; passions throng
As the soul holds it tuning in
Music flows in bloodstreams
Me the lone listener
Last night’s bud blooms in light
Calling bees to buzz in delight
Fragrance fox trots with the breeze
Rising nose tips gleefully sees
Me the lone inhaler
The pinkish sun spreads its warmth
From chilled bones smiles birth
In love the soul embraces Earth
Doleful life blends with mirth
Me the lone joiner
Joy in all forms all over strewn
Love in elements prances and runs
Spirit rises in cloud seven
Manna in torrents pours from heaven
Me the lone taster
*Tuntuni is the common tailor bird found across tropical Asia

Lyrically beautiful!
That is a soulful morning indeed…
Wow! I feel the slow opening from the dewdrop to song, from bud to breeze, until I can’t keep from embracing earth! A glorious poem.
I was write there with you in this beautiful poem, Sumana.
Right
Such a beautiful start to the day! If only we pay attention to the gifts of Nature, life will seem like a blessing every moment. A lovely poem 🙂
The blessings abound, if we are alert to their presence.
The pinkish sun spreads its warmth
From chilled bones smiles birth
In love the soul embraces Earth
Doleful life blends with mirth
Sigh.. beautiful lines Sumana ❤️
Lots of love,
Sanaa
“In love the soul embraces Earth”
That just sums up your environmental piece. Love your spirit!
You are amazing Sumana – I love that rainbow even though it perishes in the mud..I suppose the blessing is in seeing it..perhaps we need to be alone and in a contemplative state to appreciate the better things in the world around us which sing and thrive..and carry on

That alights in heart;…………………I really did enjoy reading this fine piece of poetry.
Such a lovely little morning bird. I do adore the little burdles and their song! This is beautiful, Sumana. It is astonishing, the beauty we are surrounded by, everywhere. Enough to keep the heart full of gratitude, for sure.
How easy it was to be with you as you witnessed your poetic scene and how relaxing it felt as the words surrounded me.
That’s lovely! You and the bird both blessed by this day.
“Joy in all forms all over strewn”… what a blessing! A beautifully ornamented piece, Sumana! Love this..
Those “me the lone” lines are really effective.
A wonderful poem, Sumana, a celebration of all that is bright and beautiful around us and a reflection of how blessed we are to be able to enjoy such things…
