The Retreat

Enough is enough -no more of the heat We have been hit by the climate with (Or it is we who have made the nature Behave so wildly? Future will say) For the present I need to go to a retreat For a change from the summer ire To a week of your cold fire You have not been granting me I am sure in Thimpu, Punakhan and Paro Amidst the sub-Himalayan flora and fauna In the icy shade of the sublime Himalayas You will offer your soft and cool sun In order will come my poems undone For lavish green hills with larks in the blue sky With the chirping birds you will obviously be by Though an acute absence will curb my satisfaction The probable deficit in electronic communication But then to gain something for your soul You have to compromise something materially The summer heat got to be too much Very badly I am in need of your cool touch The magnificent Himalayas calls me in its peaceful valley Where diamonds of peace gladly offer their hands of love ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ April 18, 2016 On way from Kolkata to Bhutan
