Tirunelveli Mornings

UmaS , another member of the tribe that goes Wordless on Wednesdays, posted this wonderful picture taken during a drive from Nagercoil to Tirunelveli, in the southern edge of India.

Palm trees
and
areca nut trees,
crowded at the edge,
shoving and pushing
each other
out front,
for a better view.

They have stood waiting
through the night,
now in anticipation
of the morning sun,
climbing
the old hills
and troublesome clouds.

The sky curtain
parts,
and
the Sun throws
his welcome dialogue
at the
verdant green and golden
rice fields,
shrugging off the dew
ready to begin a new day,

A mild mountain breeze,
and
the palms nod in unision,
applauding
another great day
oustide Tirunelveli.
