Musings in Kasauli Part 2

Glistening dew, I think of you

Morning glory, days of fury

Silent Nights, warm July

Promises broken, words unspoken

Fragile ties, quick demise

Circle of life.

- Saachi Dhillon

I would be interested to know how you guys interpret this poem. Any thoughts?

Musings in Kasauli

On a sunny afternoon in Kasauli, one of my most favourite hill stations, I saw a monkey sitting on a neighbouring tree and penned down the similarities I found between us, at that moment in time. 

Glances exchanged, worlds apart

While sitting on a chair & him on a tree top

Lost in contemplative thought.

Seeking solitude, some peace of mind

Monkey blues, tail hanging in dismay

Both scratching our heads, out of habit

Figuring out life, what lies ahead.

Mist slowly drifts away, sun shining bright.

Happy days seem close again, time to rejoice.

- Saachi Dhillon

Re-discovering the poet in me at Pangong Tso, Ladakh

PANGONG TSO, LADAKH

Lavender fields, whispering breeze

Rocky mountains, green pastures

Icy passes, off beaten roads

Yak's grazing in places unexplored.

Distant voices, unaware of life's choices

Waves flirting with the shore

in a rhythm of their own

Prayer flags aplenty, conscience's empty.

Black mountains, Burnt toast mountains, Silver Stone mountains

Climbing them all one by one, unaware of the fall

Silhouettes of mankind, dark as night

Greed & commotion in all its might.

Simplicity & compassion I yearn

O' from nature we have much to learn.

- Saachi Dhillon
