Matheran

A poem about a beautiful Indian Hill station.

 

Invisible to the naked eye

Hidden amongst the clouds

Magnificent throne of the sky  

Making India proud

 

Fresh streams flow down your cheeks

Like a good old morning cry

Just a poet trying to reach your peak

Meditating in the Indian sky

 

Railway tracks climbing up your spine

In the pursuit of an adventurous climb 

Embracing the sunshine

Experiencing natures prime

 

Wild horses run free

Like a scarf floating in the breeze

The whisper of the Arabian sea

Demands the dancing of the trees

 

Uplift me to the northern gates

Looking heaven in the face

Sitting in your lavish green estate

Never wanting to leave this place

 

I'm home Matheran

 

 

Author's Note

To travel to Matheran you need to park your car below and catch a tram that takes you up the hill. The place is so beautiful, it has wildlife, monkeys, scenery to die for and most of all it's peaceful. You feel at one with the earth, it's like mother nature planted a kiss on the cheek of the mountain and you can feel the after effects of her love.

I felt the peace here, you took me on an enlightened journey, lulls you into a harmonious state of being with the majesty of that mountain. The music adds to the ambiance of it all...touching upon more than one sense with this read. You've made it so tangible, I can practically breathe the fresh air within your work.

'The wild horses run free
Like a scarf floating in the breeze
The flowers playfully wink at me
As they sway in rhythm to the buzzing bees'

Winking flowers, love it! You are growing as a poet in leaps and bounds my friend...just lovely. Can't say more.

I love this! I wish I were there right now, rather than at work! You definitely use imagery to make this place sound like a paradise. My favorite line is when you compare the horses to a scarf. I could really picture them running through the warm breeze:)

You're very welcome, Keegan, it was a pleasure to read. I love mountains because the same exact imagery, emotions you conveyed in this poem.
