Hill Town Resort

a poem by Ramesh T A

The Moon light and the Stars shine bright in the night Sky;
Below the valley, the city lights twinkle like the Sky Stars;
We enjoy all these in the night dinner on our tour to the hill!
Children play games like carom and cards joyfully never before!
Ladies cook food and settle for the dinner after others finish.

A wonderful time it is to enjoy holiday so in the hill town resort!
Due to journey tiredness and sumptuous dinner all fall asleep soon!
Next, misty morning and fresh air give new vigour to go round the resort;
Horse riding, cycling round and boating on the lake they enjoy time!
Yes, Nature is such a fun that none can live without it in the world!
Indeed a lovely place it is to forget all and breathe fresh air in peace!

Green hill valley and emerald green meadows along trees all over-
Really a lively sight to see and muse over in loneliness and tranquillity!
Yellow flowers smiling on green meadows, a nice combination!
Violet and blue flowers of plants along the path give a royal welcome!
Pink and red flowers hanging on the tree branches give an exotic look!
White flowers of the trees give blissful mood all over the place there!
In such a delightful place who will deny spending some sojourn in life?

Our family friends gather on a meadow after going round the hill town.
Children run, fall and roll over grass, flowers and plants in full freedom!
To decorate on, ladies pluck flowers and knit together in a row with a thread
And imitating the mischievous boy as Lord Bala Krishna all play round!
Indeed a fine way to enjoy the legendary Krishna Lela in the hill resort!
Elderly people immersed in such a vision dream to be in Brindawan!
Yes, Radha-Krishna, symbol of pastoral love in music and dance give bliss
To escape from the world of woes and recharge human spirit with divinity!

Enjoying pastoral bliss in Nature to spiritual ecstasy as much as He could
Lord Krishna destroyed perpetrators of adharma in the Dwabara Yuga.
Likewise getting inspiration in Nature in the Kali Yuga we too have to do so to
Root out acts of terrorism that destroys love, beauty, culture and civilisation!

Of all the woes of human life, terrorism has no boundary in the world;
Mind with wrong-route of ideas inspire men towards terrorism today
That knows nothing about the causes and the consequences in the world;
True knowledge based education is indispensable to root out terrorism;
So, relaxation in the hill resort is a necessity before waging a final war!
