The first experience for the boy of 4, Hari!

Life Game In The World: 1. Childhood - Return Journey (3)

Innocent, fresh and clear all liked his talk!
Also, all got puzzled by his transcending ideas.

In return journey he saw danger of beauty
In Nature while descending the hill slopes!
Reaching plains routine journey continued;
Then he boarded a train to the east in the night!

Night train journey gave a strange pleasure
Quite calm and lulling as to the speed of train
As it stopped at various stations on the way
With the hissing and gushing out of steam!

At dawn the chill breeze gave way to day!
Green fields, trees and river streams seen
While going through iron guarder bridge
Thrilled him till the beach town was reached!

A well-inked verse on the first experience of a 4-year old. This reminded me of a quote byRita Dove : "All of us have moments in our childhood where we come alive for the first time. And we go back to those moments and think, This is when I became myself."
