Contest : Engaging The Senses

Date : June 26, 2026
Living in the concrete jungle of the city’s thermal island My five senses were stifled to almost lifeless and bland. To perceive if all of them are still lively and working or not I went from the city to the luring lap of nature I nearly forgot. I trekked in the high Himalaya along the Tista river valley Floating fragrance of spring flowers I smelled enthralled me. The murmur of cascading streams on rolling boulders I heard Pristine nature’s sound of music mingled with the song of bird. The clumps of cloud curled up the valley soaking the green My body mellowed at their soft touch seeping through skin. Up above tree canopy the clouds melted in cool crystal rain The drops were like elixir of heaven my taste buds still retain. The crimson sun painted gold on Kanchajangha peak at morn Beguiled and awed, I saw the Himalayan splendor being born. I was then hovering in the gorgeous feeling of grand ecstasy And realized content my five senses still survived within me.
