Experiencing an alien place, A place where Phoebus' face Fails to face the winds That blow with subtracting grace.
A large green field, Surrounded by white topped peaks And the green waters that adds on to the greenery And hits you with the blows of mist and mystery.
The delight of so vibrant a sight, Soaking you in the atmosphere so light. The cold, dark, smokey breaths That you breathe out of your shivering cold Breathed out with a rather warmed up heart Giving your life an entirely new start.
And the glacial fed rivers, The perennial rivers up north That freeze in the dark winter To overpower your damp sweaters.
The snowfall and the nightfall, The contrast of black and white, Of darkness and brightness, The soft fall on the hard grounds, The gentle touch on the roughness, And you ask yourself, Is this the real life? Life it is, indeed.
Your words freeze as you speak, Your thoughts freeze as you think, Immerse yourself in the foggy glory! Weave yourself a new life story!
This poem is about a trip I had to the wonderful land of Kashmir, a state in the northernmost part of India. A land nothing less than a paradise, a life changing travel experience, I'd say.
