ebulliently with the most minuscule draught of wind,

 

You'll find her in the silken conglomerate of pearly clouds; floating

smoothly in the sky,

coat of scintillating dew drops,

leaves sporadically with changing seasons,

around the farm with its abnormally round eyes,

earth until murky dusk,

full blossom at the onset of torrential monsoons,

 

You'll find her in the golden fish whistling adroitly through deep

ocean waters; incorporating an army of incongruous bubbles in its path,

in animation at the unveiling of twilight,

 

You'll find her in the shimmering spires of the historical monument;

which glisten profoundly under natural light,

non-invasively through the marshy swamps,

with deleterious wisps of air,

ingratiating brown projecting in abundance,

intricate network of finely intermingled threads,

in puddles of tainted water,

towards its mother,

 

You'll find her in the rustically humming bumblebees; which were

unrelentingly busy round the clock in producing tones of sweet honey,

the succulent layer of ravishing pulp,

 

You'll find her in grizzly bears inhabiting the mountains; traversing

harmlessly with several flakes of snow on their backs,

sprouting from its oval shaped core,

 

You'll find her in the silver crested dolphin diving in and out of the

undulating sea; spraying gallon of tingling droplets as an aftermath,

perfect harmony from the moist land,

 

You'll find her in crystalline water evacuated from the belly of earth;

ubiquitously quenching insatiable urges of thirst,

scintillating magnificently in daylight,

 

You'll find her in globules of lukewarm milk; oozing profusely from the

swollen teats of mother cow,

wafting from the mouth of an individual in deep slumber,

branches of the tall tree,

by a frivolous poke to the ribs,

roof of the hollow mountain cavern,

walls; shielding the dwelling from acrimonious rays of the sun,

a fleet of terrestrial organisms in their cozy warmth,

 

You'll find her squirting as untainted latex; gradually extruding from

the stalk of pliable rubber tree,

a mystically melodious tune when dexterously struck,

 

You'll find her incorporated in the furry mattress; with a jugglery of

woollen threads extruding out,

 

You'll find her embodied in the knotted handkerchief; tossed

exuberantly in the air; tickling the cluster of eyelashes as it fell,

 

You'll find her in the congenial glowworm philandering through the

bushes; emitting an iridescent radiance to illuminate the night,

 

You'll find her in the hapless slippers of the old grandmother;

chivalrously distributing sweets amongst young children; recounting to them

innumerable tales of the obsolete past,

of simplicity and care,

 

You'll find her in pots chiseled of rustic clay; molded articulately

with bohemian tribal palms,

in the cosmos; glistening amicably in the murderous blackness,

 

You'll find her in the sapphire veils sequestering the woman's eyes;

obliterating her from heinous evil prevalent in the world,

 

You'll find her in the century old fossil impregnated with a pellucid

demeanor; silently yet effusively portraying the tale of existence

before a thousand years,

gently hovering down on the earth,

 

You'll find her in crusty flakes of snow; affably clinging to the glass

pane window of the dwelling,

tinge they acquire when he profusely cries,

enchantingly with the clean wind,

its presence when water tumbled from the sky in dazzling brightness,

leaf; diffusing a ravishing aroma when meticulously chewed,

 

You'll find her in the heavily dunloped toddler pram; which sways

rhythmically; thereby putting the infant into a celestial calm,

 

You'll find her in trunk of the mammoth elephant; inhaling bucket fulls

of water from the river; sprinkling the same with rambunctious noises over

the unsuspecting parrots,

 

You'll find her protuberant neck of a pigeon; swelling it all the more

blatantly with the arrival of winter,

 

You'll find her in drifting weeds of algae; engendering a flurry of

incoherent ripples on the surface of the forlorn stream,

 

You'll find her in pot bellied ducks; discordantly croaking with their

flaccid and yellow beaks hoisting small fish from the lake,

 

You'll find her in the sneeze that turbulently hisses past slimy

nostrils; transforming the supremely sophisticated into natural humans,

 

You'll find her in all items of edible food; satiating the hunger of

millions of bowels perishing due to opprobrious poverty,

 

You'll find her in the juicy watermelon; yielding tantalizingly red

water when astutely squeezed,

 

You'll find her in the bushy squirrel scampering up and down the tree;

onerously gnawing at chunks of stolen jackfruit,

 

You'll find her in the mischievous faced chimpanzee; perfectly

emulating the actions of his civilized counterparts on the bustling street,

 

You'll find her in the cup of steaming filter coffee; which grants

loads of reprieve from the insurmountable cold,

 

You'll find her in the compassionate mascara circumventing the eyes;

granting them with that thoroughly effeminate look which they vehemently

desired,

 

You'll find her in all those benevolent leaders; who chalk egalitarian

policies for both the affluent and indigent alike,

 

You'll find her in the tears which sporadically flow down the cheek;

which culminate at instants of astronomical felicity,

 

You'll find her in sparkling waterfalls plummeting down the slope;

creating an ingratiating gurgling sound after kissing the earth,

 

You'll find her in appetizing candy cones overflowing with sweet

raspberry; instantly pacifying even the most pernicious of personalities,

 

You'll find her in the jagged oars of a boat; securely maneuvering the

bleary eyed passengers to the shore,

 

You'll find her in raw chunks of mud; which discharge an exquisite

redolence soon after the first spell of rain,

 

You'll find her in plain strings which the sister ties to her brother

on his wrist; symbolizing a perpetual bond of unbiased love,

 

You'll find her in the soft toys that a child incessantly plays with;

fomenting unprecedented smiles on his lips,

 

You'll find her in underground cloistered tunnels; which provide

unsurpassable reprieve to millions during times of pugnacious war,

 

You'll find her in the nascent seed; which later gives birth to the

gigantic sized tree,

 

You'll find her in nostalgic memories of the past; making an adult

reminiscent about his boisterous childhood,

 

You'll find her in the pulp of ripened banana; producing a fabulous

flavour when masticated,

 

You'll find her in every incommensurate footprint on this earth;

depicting the presence of a tangibly breathing entity,

 

You'll find her in the blood circulating through your veins; instilling

the energy to exist with the unfurling of each second,

 

You'll find her in the eyes of your beloved; prompting you to

audaciously leap into the sea of adventure,

 

You'll find her in every heart throbbing beside you; intensely

reinvigorating the spirit to uninhibitedly live,

 

And you didn’t need to spend a single penny to purchase her; a moment

to applaud her; for all you needed to do was to profusely blend with

nature and humanity; and you'll find her automatically,

 

For she was none other than the supremely omnipresent "GODDESS OF

LOVE".
