Manohar Bhatia
I am lying on a bench
under a shade of trees
with the gentle wind
blowing lazily around my knees
Is this my Garden of Heaven?

I see birds,one,two,three
hearing their chirpings for free
crows hastily are making nests
to lay their eggs for their pets
Is this my garden of heaven?

Honey-bees buzzing
around colourful flowers
to pick up pollen grains
and fertilize in their stems
Is this my Garden of Heaven?

Vultures are seen in sky
and flying very high
to catch through sharp eye
anything gives out a sigh!
Is this my Garden of Heaven?

Now, all is quiet
a deafning silence,
real,peaceful,exciting,vibrant,
Where is the Garden of Heaven?
Oh,Man,it always resides within YOU!

--The End--

Maya Mahant Manohar,

Your 'Garden Of Heaven' has beautiful and the ugly. Your poem reflects duality, the honey bees pollinating to create new flowers...life and vultures the flesh eating scavengers being the metaphor for death. Good and the bad coexist, in your mind. But then that is the fact of life.

Wonderful poem Manohar,
You have created some beautiful imagery from the real life and the ending this heaven lies within you is so apt.The style you have adopted for this poem has a class of its own.

Manohar,
I love your poems about nature and its wonders, and I appreciate your conclusion is that "the garden is always within YOU!"

Well spoken,

Jack Huber Ditto, Diane. Nature is a favorite theme for many people, I think even more than love. Love poetry just gets the press...

A nice read, Manohar, as always.
