SUN AND SAND







Thick green veil
Covering the earth
Snaking through space
Reaching for the skies








The lone tree in the foreground
Gazing out at the blue expanse
Emerald waters competing hard
To better the colors of dense foliage








                Eerie silence envelops
                Not a soul in sight
                Solitude is divine!
                It is the route to Heaven













Afloat on the calm waters
Time stands still
Sky, sun, sand and waves
Remain silent spectators









Languorous stretch of deep blue water
Seemingly floating strips of land
Verdant branches reaching for the sea
Landscape unspoilt by civilization









Seemingly still water
Loudly lapping tides
Gently rolling hills
Rains hidden in clouds


















Should I come or should I not?
The Sun seems undecided
Peeping from behind the clouds
Laden with the golden showers












Sparkling sands
Dancing rays
Floating clouds
Divine place

A wonderful poem.Like most of the poems of Wordsworth, Nature reflects through your poems.
...'The Sun seems undecided
Peeping from behind the clouds..'

@ Ajay-Thanks, Ajay and yes, you got it right. Its the Andamans. I could fill pages describing the beauty of the place. That's why I went with the easier option of posting the snaps :)

Latha Nair said...

@ Raincrab-Thanks, but they don't do full justice to the beauty of the place! :)

Enjoy the streches of unspoilt landscape as much as you can now..! we can access such landscapes only at Safaris and 'paid parks, in the near future!

Good experience nicely told with evidences!

@Subu-thanks.
Its so true. Unspoilt nature
is so hard to come by.
In fact I was surprised that
there are still such pristine
beaches in our country!
Heard that the beach on Havelock
was ranked the "Best Beach in Asia" by Time in 2004-felt quite proud!!

Thanks Srivalli & Parthasarathi for your encouraging words :)

Latha Nair said...

@Amin-yes, its a pleasure swimming in the clear blue-green sea which is calm as a lake. And an out-of-this-world experience-snorkeling and getting an up-close view of the magnificent corals underwater.
