Good morning

A rare summer with a dark sky letting the sunshine sneak

and play hide and seek with the sea and the sand.

Taking a hint I watch from a distance

the children play in the ebbing waters,

safe and trusting the tide too in this hour of a cosmic playfulness.

A faraway sea and a faraway child, a red dot prancing on the sand; my eternal sand is lying low,

taking in this hour of vastness and peace.

Sushama Karnik.

You are that universal observer of others' lives, generously embracing a scene with a caring eye. You so naturally camp an atmosphere with a few focal points that catch the readers' imagination and help them feel the scene and be part of it almost! Yes, you do "take a hint" and much beyond, your poetry espouses the world! The poem resonates with me as such scenes evoked here seem so familiar. For some reason, it made me think of the cover page of one of Rosamund's Pilcher's novels I have had at home, The shell seekers.
