Odes to my land

Odes to my land

A Poem by Balkaran Sidhu

Rays gleam atop the horizon
the east coast's  light now dims
Evening's  crawlers slink from reddish hue,
as the last ray of the orange king sustains.

Secrets beneath the lights,
the soothing breeze brushing my leaves 
with misty clouds left destitute
in the land of souls turned waste. 

The moon's  bright circle will climb
The arteries of the channeled constellations
Incoherent splendor of stars, 
unfathomable  by the naked eyes

I can feel the soft fields,of alluvial
Of springs flower aura ensconced in my chest
Submissive to woo eternity,
those birds flying to Paradise

I thank my omnipotent prince
I am in his orbit,under his shade
In high blue seas of sunbeams
where Himalayas keep an eye on the tide

I am a blue blood in nature's grace
staring at the awe of grand eves,
of rainbows, and the gods we make
As I lie subdued in the divine lap of my mother.

I especially loved the last line it was like being given a last hug at the end.
I thought the second stanza was outstanding.
On the whole a great song of praise.
Loved it.
