A Walk In The Garden

by aniketnikhade
Green is the garden
Green from inside
Green on all sides
Green leaves, green trees, green plants, fruits and flowers seen everywhere.

Clean is the garden
Clean from inside
Clean on all sides
Absolutely neat, clean and tidy in the early morning hours.

Vast is the garden
Large is the landscape
Abundantly filled is the garden with fruits, flowers and trees on each and every side.

Calm and quite is the morning in the early wee hours
The sun still rising
The birds chirping
A few people walking either alone or in groups along the side of the road.

I am still walking along the side of the road
Keeping in tune with time
Putting every effort to reach to the garden on time
On my way towards the garden, I met some of my old friends and fellows
Some of them are regular visitors
Some occassional
I wave my hand, saying hello to a hello and good morning to a good morning
Odd it seems as it takes time reaching to the garden
Still I always feel it's better to be safe than feel sorry later.

After over a period of time I enter into the garden
In a customary fashion I say hello and good morning to my other friends and fellows
After spending some time with them, I take my usual route towards the tree, which I follow
Cherished is each and every moment of time spent in the garden
Cherished for a long, long time
Definitely worth remembering are the moments spent in the garden.

Over a period of time the garden gets filled with people from all age groups
A few of them walking in groups, talking amongst themselves, spending their time taking the early morning walk
Some of them are regular and frequent visitors, who can be seen running in the garden
Completing their rounds one by one, one after another
Still the rest can be seen doing yoga and other form of exercises.

After completing my brisk walking in the garden I start with some yoga followed by breathing exercises
Over a period of time I realize it's time now to leave the garden
The crowd is changing
More and more new people coming
Making a note of everything that I did after coming into the garden I take the decision to leave the garden
I leave the garden so as to reach to my home with a hope to coming again tomorrow.

October 21, 2015 - 15:45 Definitely it's refreshing because the time is that of early morning hours and the theme is that of a pleasant morning when the entire city has still not got ready to go to work. Thanks for your kind words.

There are moments in life when what is going on in the mind needs to be looked into detail. At such point in time it's always better to wait for a while, take a pause and once everything is clear in mind, then move ahead.

Plans are made keeping in mind contingencies with regards to the future, however, plans need to be updated and then followed, since in this fast changing world everything changes much more quickly than what one thinks, expects and follows.
