Rhododendrons

 


Rhododendrons

Amit Shankar Saha (India)

 

 

In the country of rhododendrons

I imagined walking with our family.

I imagined taking pictures

of the ancient temples of Baijnath.

I imagined posing at Birthi Falls

and lodging at Munsiyari.

Imagination trekked to Kaliya

and settled at beautiful Chaukori.

At Mukteshwar we fell in love

with the setting sun.

At Naukuchiyatal we got

lost in its serenity.

A short trip to Nainital and

a long stretch of eternity.

Flora and fauna and a bit

of sunshine for company.

See how imagination is

gradually eating me.
