Balcony view --
with oil-sketch in progress (just added the trees this morning, their leaves yet to be added)
plus associated poem . . .
==============================
two mango trees are growing in the yard
sweet koels and bulbuls sing amid the green
imagine if you will (it's not too hard)
that life could yet discover such a scene
I'm here alas so brief in this serene
and happiest of abodes beside the lake
at times one senses destiny so keen
at times the wakening heart is apt to break
