“Wilderness has at once a mysterious beauty and horror entwined within. Human mind also harbours wild urges and benign emotions. When wild urges take precedence, life becomes an untamed jungle” ~ By Poet The jungle sprawls hauntingly scary Where light and shadows together dance. Here the wind howls fiercely Thickets and thistles grow wild Creepers twine around trees. Branches of trees droop in disarray, Blocking the paths and obstructing entry. Under jagged rocks and holes, Snakes crawl and rodents flee. The ominous hoot of owls rent the air. The rocky boulders in dim light look so monstrous. Leopards and tigers roam free looking for prey Their carnivores urge, hidden under soft paws. From hideouts, raptors and beasts come to the open. Screeching bats keep flying overhead Here in this dark grove, light seldom falls There is a morbid silence, interrupted By howls of predators and screams of the preyed. Is not our world too, a wild untamed jungle Where wolves roam ready to pounce, ready to strike!

An exquisite poem delves into the untamed jungle and the erratic human world to examine the core hazards and wildness of both. Like predators in the jungle, threats in our lives are ever-present, and the last lines imply that this is a metaphor for the inherent danger and need to survive in both settings. Excellent poem, dear friend
