The Dance On the Mountain Peaks

At Paro of Bhutan I found the clouds Gathering over the snow white peaks Over the summit the deep blue shroud Kept looking on in dazed disbelief If one takes up my fountain pen Or snatches my favourite umbrella Restless naturally are all the grains Confusion arrives in the sweet tabla White clouds start fondling the peaks Drawings of beautiful chaos emerge Surge of colourfully deep drum beat Dance in the white peaks go berserk Rises from the foothills the peace palm Lifted in the air from a milky white lotus In the eyes smiling the poems of psalm Enjoy in peace, ---says a voice sonorous I quieted my pen and put down the notebook In bliss kept fixated my blue pacific look _______________________________________ Tabla : A small drum or pair of drums of India turned to different pitches and played with the hands : In Dictionary.com May 2, 2016
