Rejuvenation !

#OctPoWriMo: Prompt 16 : Paradelle


                      Whew, wow ! Oh, how I loved this exercise. I just cannot believe that I am trying new poetry forms every other day and learning so much from these wonderful experiences. This one was really tricky, tried my best to follow the prompt, but sadly was unable to keep up in the last stanza. Would like to post this though and share. 


Exhausted, I lay enveloped in the lap of nature,
Exhausted, I lay enveloped in the lap of nature,
Seeking peace for the troubled architecture (mind),
Seeking peace for the troubled architecture (mind),
Exhausted, the troubled architecture (mind) – I ,
Lay enveloped, seeking peace, in the lap of nature.



The flora bent to help me recover,
The flora bent to help me recover,
As if its nature’s turn to discover,
As if its nature’s turn to discover,
The flora bent to help, discover,
As if it’s me – nature’s turn, to recover.


The sun embalming the environ,
The sun embalming the environ,
With its golden rays of hope and expectation,
With its golden rays of hope and expectation,
Hope – it’s the sun, embalming the environ,
And with golden rays of expectation.


The embalming nature helped me discover,
The flora, the sun, the golden rays,
The troubled, exhausted architecture (mind) lay enveloped,
In hope and expectation,
Seeking peace in the environ,
It’s my turn to live again!
