a solitary traveller.
A faint breeze rustles
the tree-tops, a symphony plays,
A fragrance of thousand roses blends
with the jasmine-scented night-
a heady cocktail.
Tread softly lest the crinkly
dry leaves that carpet the streets
ripple the stillness and deny
the naked silhouttes of trees
the solace of silence.
All around a tranquil peace
that comes from knowing the winter
is far behind, the blazing summer
yet far away, and the promise
