To possess that wild
\nInventiveness
\nThat creativity
\nTo put his money where
\nHis heart is
\nFor there it needs to be
\nThe empathy of knowing
\nThat where we live is where
\nNature has a history
\nAnd that progress Wants to share<\/p>\n
The boulders the great sky scale
\nThe river and the souls
\nThe animals tribes that frequent
\nThis place
\nEach with their own roles
\nGifted to the environment
\nBy the gods of long ago
\nAnd having to watch their habitat
\nRapidly just go<\/p>\n
His conceptualisation
\nBasis in the sunshine where
\nTranquillity exists
\nAmong the encroaching
\nCity fair
\nAll the commerciality
\nAnd the hordes that hardly see
\nThe beauty that is India
\nResourcefully wild and free<\/p>\n
For him there is an essence
\nA spirit and a sense
\nOf relevance and meaning
\nIt really is intense
\nThe river and the crocodiles
\nThe fishermen the nets
\nEgrets ibis mynahs
\nMany roosting sets
\nRed skies and pink water
\nHues imaginary
\nThe morning light
\nNo fantasy
\nA dreamer possibly<\/p>\n
He walks across the boulders
\nHis clarity is sure
\nHe feels what others miss
\nIn life
\nAnd eloquently feels
\nOff
\nInside himself his rendering
\nOf note
\nHe lives within tHe history
\nAnd is I think afloat<\/p>\n
Individuals chopping pieces
\nOut of boulders everyday
\nbreaking up there fabric
\nEach Rock that crumbles
\nBy the way
\nCloser to unsaid declaration
\nWhich he feels
\nChallenges the magic of the Natural World
\nAnd deals<\/p>\n
A further blow his dictum
\nReally to let us see
\nThe unembroidered reality
\nThat is crumbling silently
\nA case perhaps of dupery
\nAn illusion some won\u2019t see
\nThe veneer is wearing slightly
\nFor the all seeing visionary<\/p>\n
By his will he seeks to conquer
\nIn what is his gentle way
\nHis thoughts they are beguiling
\nThey are with him everyday
\nHe sees the great perspective
\nBeyond the cities glare
\nThe primitive is beautiful
\nAnd so much loves to share<\/p>\n
The conciseness of an evening Jaunt
\nTo catch his nocturnal friends
\nWho do their hunting in the dark
\nSuch exuberance it sends
\nHis heart a racing rapidly
\nThe excitement of it all
\nThe little croc found on the road
\nProtesting With its call<\/p>\n
He is up against the vigour
\nThe forcefulness the power
\nThe people and their fervour
\nGrowing by the hour
\nHe is cogent and compelling
\nFor the tapestry around
\nIs suited and is balanced
\nIn the light and by the sound<\/p>\n
The rolling rocks
\nThe hovels
\nCrowded buses everywhere
\nUpside down birds a reflection
\nOf their swooping final prayer
\nThe monkeys going about their lives
\nAs they have always done
\nIn what is a race against time
\nAll Played under the sun<\/p>\n
