Baby, Art Thou Sleeping Still? Poem by Vivek Tiwari

Baby, Art Thou Sleeping Still?

Rating: 5.0


The birds pour out their charm and grace,
In songs that fill the morning space.
Soft gleams arise on velvet skies —
Yet, baby, art thou sleeping still?

The wind, in robes of joy it wears,
Dances through the golden airs.
It wakes the blooms with fragrant thrill —
But baby, art thou sleeping still?

Let loose thy curls, let dimples play,
Let laughter light thy lips today.
Thy dawn of dreams knocks at thy sill —
Yet, baby, art thou sleeping still?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This lyrical poem beautifully captures the tranquil charm of nature and the innocence of a sleeping child. Through delicate imagery—singing birds, wandering winds, blooming flowers, and soft morning light—the poet weaves a gentle world awakening to a new day. Yet amidst this awakening, the child remains peacefully asleep, untouched by the stirring beauty around. The repetition of the line "Baby, art thou sleeping still? " lends a lullaby-like rhythm, evoking both wonder and tenderness. The poem reflects themes of innocence, serenity, and the quiet marvel of life's simplest moments, wrapped in soft rhyme and graceful emotion.
