What to write now?

What to write now?

A Poem by Nilesh Ratnam

If nature be my thing,
then.

I could have written on Summer's Day.
or even a Winter's cold.
And wet, wet clay,
drying in the ground.

Or the hot sun,
the center of all life,
as it never leaves,
until its job is done.

For i could have written,
on a clouded day.
The shadow it makes,
or the pouring rain.

All these choices come to me,
piled high as a mountains peak.
Oh come down, mountain goat,
for all to see,
as your white coat of fur glistening from snow,
almost as if I have unlocked to mine,
a shiny key to poetry of life.
