Bucket List for Summer

Bucket List for Summer

Sultry days with golden rays,

   With ice-creams, juices on the trays,

Shore sands and pebbles with cooling breeze

   High up in the mountain where waters freeze

A morning walk or a jog with furry friend Cae-Sukimy pet dog,

  Escape to a distant place veiled by a blanket of fog,

Emptying cups and cups of garam chai,

Or bowls of maggi or wai-wai,

A plunge in the inviting aquapool,

 When the thermometer reads your body’s temperature as ‘extra cool’

A meandering trek in the wood,

   Satiating your tongue with gourmet food,

The simple pleasure of reading a sea of books

   To tasting all the dishes of what Ma cooks.

When the alarm doesn’t go ‘tring-tring

   And you can snooze and land up in a dream’s wing.

When under the shade of trees

   You surrender to the sky painted by the birds and the bees.

To be kissed by the debouching pearls of a water-fall,

   Pack your bags for Summer’s call,
