Tinkles, felt like rippling
water-
Those intrinsic movements
that flow into each other
unhesitatingly
with such
lucidity
in dream-like flash...
Soothing sounds like
gentle waves lapping cool
around the ankles, leading
to a euphoria;
so sudden as a fresh spray
of
tangy water;
like a breathless gasp
in a cold shower.

ReplyDelete*sighs* *happy sighs*
let me take this in first...these words were missed ...missed like you wouldnt believe...
''Those intrinsic movements
that flow into each other
unhesitatingly
with such
lucidity

beautiful Usha....Will I run out of these 'beautifuls' one day?
For,what else can I call it?
the way you have described it...
and then in the next words you take us from''soothing sounds'' to ''a breathless gasp in a cold shower''...
Reading the last ones I did go brrr...:D
the transition from soothing sounds and gentle waves to cold brrr like showers ...:)))
and this ''so sudden as a fresh spray
of tangy water;''...the imagery you evoke...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! delightfu;!
ReplyDeleteIndyeah, Meg, that was an awesome comment too :) And I know those words have somehow transformed from mere letters, to feelings in the way you have shared exactly what it means to you:) Now that is as pleasant as being on the edge of the water, with the waves lapping my ankles, and listening to the pleasant sounds of nature:) Thank you, thank you ... everrrrrr so much!
ReplyDeleteMeena, ummm... lovely to hear that delightful sound too :) Thank you!

ReplyDeleteGuess My quest stretches far beyond the quest for heaven....
Similarity in name and blog hopping brought me here :-)
what will we get when we divide 'second'in to million parts...what is the feeling that rush to us when 'that unexpected curve' brings electricity inside the brain whenever we hear a great joke..what calmness we feel in those cool evenings when we do nothing but staring at the starts...
ReplyDelete"that" was what this post brings...
