In the lap of nature

When I look back in time

The ticking clock reminds

Reminds me of the number of hours that have passed

Since I ever came closest to the clouds that house in the stars

And spill magic in disguise on earth so far.

With my dearest friends

And two of my beloved sisters

I undertook the journey

That would take me to a place, heavenly.

The trip surfaced after great delays

With lots of obstacles

That remained unmoved in our ways.

But never getting discouraged

We made our way.

Routing the path to the place

That will let us touch the vault of heaven.

Leaving behind the plains

Which are far from nature’s grace

We enter the place where God has bestowed

Mankind with its abundant love and treasure, innate.  

We find ourselves standing in between the tall hills

Which are covered with cottony clouds

Imperfect in size and shape

Like something went wrong in their textile mill.

As they float like a feather

Touching the cap of the mountain

It makes me wonder

Am I the fairy that could swim across the heaven

Sitting on these cherubs like feathers?

The abounding tree on all our sides

Leave us mesmerized in the lushness

That god has endowed.

With singsongs of the birds and monkeys

The nature’s whole becomes one

As my friends  and I witness

The nature’s hub.

It is here,

Where our souls find much sought after peace

For we have arrived in the lap of heavenly dream.

Our hearts gloat for we have found the keys

To unlock the door to the land

Like a dream

Where nature speaks

And paradise it is.

Ode to the recent trip to Shimla and Kasauli.
