Nature's Gift

The venerable Himalayan hills stand tall and high
to play with white clouds up in the heavenly sky.
The view of snow-capped peaks meets one’s eye
if mysterious mist the sun is able to soak and dry.

The green sylvan slopes and valleys do exemplify
the virgin splendor of nature so keen to multiply.
tranquility that it bestows if taken in by and by 
has divine powers for wandering souls to detoxify.

Ancient temples near sources of holy rivers imply
sacred bond between man and god none can deny.
Thus, the believers, despite tough conditions defy 
all odds and scale these lofty mountains to purify.

Recent natural calamities in Himalayas signify
disturbing nature for development will not fly.

Nicely done, Mohan. One time I think she told me that she likes the words in their exact form as she has given them, so I hope you will be ok with the word demystify.
