Just came back from a trek in the western Ghats and the Nilgiris. The beauty is hard to describe but I cannot restrain myself from sharing it with you. So here it is, a simple new year gift a poem composed for you to share in the beauty of the place.


Nilgiri Mountains
_____________

Nilgiri mountains, vast, eternal
blue bossomed maternal.
We have come to adore
the essence of all that was before.

Prodigals cant see so we must seek
with tired minds and eyes grown weak
the milk of life flow over your breast
in shola stream and glade and nest

Somewhere in here
lies an umblical cord
cut by wire
word and sword

Over twenty millenia
or so ago
as we stole and fled
from natures door

Now the seed of time and grain is spent
with a harvest of thorn the land is rent
to seek forgiveness the thieves return
the sins go on but still we yearn

to raise an offering of sweat
to the height of a hill
to touch a high mountain meadow
with the greening of will

to taste a sundancing stream
with the thirst of ages
to pick a small perfect flower
and read it like pages

to offer warm breath
to a cold morning star
to take one perfect moment
and not stretch it too far.

Dear Tushankur
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
I have just told it as I found it,
its very encouraging to receive your response. Not many of us seem to care much for poetry.My passion for horse riding, trekking and writing poetry puts the juice into life.
Regards Amit
