LONELY VALLEY
2
Staring to the Mount Shiva Lingam,
And
its lovely dark green tip
3
We sat on a piece of stone,
Just on the sharp edge of a hill side deep.
,
Oblivious of the obvious danger,
That
awaits a slightest carelessness,
We lost ourselves in the soothing lap of Nature
Who
welcomed and embraced us with loving caress.
Dressed in
deep green saree with white lining,
Of the
waterfalls and snowy white patch,
The mother
Nature moves around us,
In the
floating cotton like clouds with a heavenly touch.
Clouds above our heads ,
clouds below in the hills,
Concealing and revealing the mountain peak,
Giving an impression of
a lovely image,
Found and lost in a dream of sleep.
In this lovely
valley of Lonavala,
We enjoyed to our hearts fill,
Nature talked to us in the murmuring of the Lake water,
(2)
And in the sound of the Water falls flowing down the Hill.
The endless blue Sky with patches of clouds here and there,
And the sweet music of the Wind that spreads to the
Distant
horizon,
Nature appears before us in the Silence, in the Serenity
And in the tickling of the
drizzling Rain.
We listened
to Nature, we talked to her ,
And we felt her presence like a living being,
Wordsworth, the great worshiper of Nature
(3)
Must have appreciated this Lonely Valley,
And could have gathered some more elements,
4
For his theory of Pantheism.
In an endless interaction
with Nature,
He must have enjoyed the celestial pleasure,
And heard the sound of the Silence in his deep sleep
In the lap of Nature in this beautiful valley here.
I happened to be in
the midst of
The wonderful phenomena of this enchanting valley,
With the family of my loving daughter and my wife,
The sweet memories of this LONELY VALLEY ,
Will really remain
ever green till the end of my life.
