Best Poems Written by Nanditha Girijan

Nature and Me

Amidst the hills, there lays 
a greeny valley and a river
flowing beside where it’s
elixir dripping from the
elevated peaks of hillocks, 
kissing the white creamy 
stones to churn, it into
decorous dewy pebbles. 
The scream of peacocks 
with ecstasy on the vast 
fields savouring the punch
of tender paddy grains and
the parched cattle’s heartily 
pacing to sip water from the 
flawless flowing freshet. 
With an aura of mumbling
hymn from the temple, my
 soul quietly departed to the
 true self of me that hidden, to
 the naïve village girl whose
blood and spirit devoted to this
 land of legacy where its charisma
 can only exist with nature. 
The metropolitan now ceased
its effort to alter the inner me.
