Canopy

Hungrily suckling one moment 
Sleeping off the next 
Is there a better place on earth?
Than, the Canopy of Mother's Bosom

A baby smiles and coo's 
Having a tete a tete
With a rotating toy 
Wide eyed in a canopy of a cradle

Expansive grasslands 
Shimmering sun flowing
Picnics, merrily under
Fluffy canopy of white clouds

Hiking the higher Himalayas
Lost amongst the sunny woods
Sweat strewn spirit too, then 
Cool breezy canopy of pines welcome 

To love and hold them forever
Tie a knot 
Drapes and canopies of bouquets 
Behold and bear witness 

Dusty busy road 
Sweltering in the sun's heat
An old homeless unaware rests
Shady canopy of trees in the alley

What is that I like of canopy?
The shade and nip of air 
The tender gentle protection 
or the sheer unexpected beauty?

When grief hit the door
Snuggling into darkness 
Love lost in the abyss
Canopy of memories trickled 

Invisible to naked eye
Spreading frisson of delight
How and when mysteriously 
Canopy of Divine light arrives

Oh, Wordly profane one
Have you not felt this anytime
Tenderness of a canopy?
Bosom so giving 

People too are canopies
A piece of Divine one
Me and you
