Very beautiful. Naming your visit to your village is really touching and gave a wonderful feel to the poem. Similar to my poem MY VILLAGE., written in Haiku format.

This is a tender beautiful reminiscent poem and I totally adore it. The second stanza is pure heaven with the glimmering hurricanes and gentle reveries woken my moonlight. Ah! now I am reading more...it is all so surreal and it feels like heaven. The last dip in the river like a fonding Mother has evoked a sentimental chord in with me Ravi. Love it! 10 love Karin

A very fine 'home-coming'. Liked the 'touch' of 'mother' in the verse.
