Valley of Flowers

Saw a pic of Valley of flowers, a national park in the state of Uttarakhand in India. And that inspired me to write some lines. Have shared the info about valley of flowers, the pic and my lines below.

Valley of Flowers

The towering mountain

Looks like a maiden

Wearing her colourful and long

Traditional skirt

For millions flowers

With heavenly hues

Wave in the wind

On it’s lower slopes

Faraway

Like sages with flowing white beards

Snow capped mountains stand tall

And look down on the world

With disdain

Clouds in the blue blue sky

Indifferently fleet across

Unimpressed with the scene below

While a river flows across the valley

In a delicate curve

Embracing every stream

Every trickle

Flowing down the mountains

Onto its bosom

To have a closer look

Rocks have tumbled down

From heights above

And embedded themselves in soil

On lower slopes

So mesmerising is the scene
