GOD'S LOFTY THOUGHTS <br /> <br />I had once visited that Enchanted Forest, <br />Near the verdant valley of Muflong, <br />In the abode of the floating clouds, - <br />called the Meghalayas, <br />Whose capital is Shillong. <br />I had ventured there with the desire <br />To find some exotic Orchid flowers, <br />And to bring back a few, by the evening <br />when I retire. <br />For this Enchanted Forest had lovely <br />blossoms, which always bloomed, <br />Wafting its fragrance, for a period of <br />twelve moons! <br />Soon I saw some creepers, coiled around <br />a big tall tree, <br />And out of it two exquisite flowers, <br />Kept peeping out at me! <br />Those rare and exotic flowers were <br />the only of its kind, <br />And I had stood there spell-bound, <br />Totally lost in time! <br />For those twin flowers bloomed, <br />Like some God's lofty thoughts! <br />Symbols of His benevolence, which our <br />world had forgot! <br /> <br /> - Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 20 Apr 08 <br />(Way back in 1976, posted at HQs <br /> Eastern Air Command, I had visited <br />this forest!)<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-s-lofty-thoughts/
