CHILD AND PEACOCK

(A Poetic Talk)

……………..

Child to Peacock:

Peacock… Peacock! What a beautiful sight you are!

Peacock to Child:

Dear child…! You are also beautiful to see!

Child to Peacock:

My dear Peacock! Your beautiful blue feathers are not only beautiful but also delightful to my heart!

Peacock to Child:

My dear girl! Your colourful skirt is also beautiful, as glancingly bright as a butterfly!

Child to Peacock:

Dear friend! Your feathers displaying their dance are amazing to watch, and they touch my tender heart!

Peacock to Child:

My dear little friend! Will you dance like me?

Child to Peacock:

My mother has trained me to dance, and I can perhaps perform with gentle movements and steps!

Tell me, dear! Who trained you to perform this natural feather-dance?

Peacock to Child:

Natural instinct is our dance guru (master)!

Child to Peacock:

Dear…! Will you train me in your fascinating feather-dance as a dance master?

Peacock to Child:

(with a mild smile…) How can I, dear? But skilled dance masters among you can recreate the peacock dance (Mayura Nritham) in a wonderful way!

Child to Peacock:

Dear Peacock! What instincts fill your heart with such warm emotions that you perform your dance when you see the rainbow in the sky?

Peacock to Child:

The blossomed rainbow in the sky fills our hearts with joy, and we begin to dance in pleasure!

Child to Peacock:

Dear Peacock! Your beautiful complexion, with wonderful blue feathers and naturally cultured dance, is excellent and extraordinary to our eyes!

Peacock to Child:

All are the gifts and grace showered upon us by the world dramatist… the Universal Power!
