The Magical Pond ( Ode to Dighalipukhuri)

The carpet of fallen leaves;

The canopy of the shady grove of trees;

The refreshing wind from the pond gushes in—–

Drenching one in its sweet kisses of cold shower—-

On hot sultry days!!!!

Or the smiling sunshine sometimes peep in

Through those shady grove of trees!!!

Sending cosy smiles across the faces of a pair of lovers—-

Basking on its banks—

Holding hand in hands—-

Dreaming of being in unison in future!!!!

The moonlight beams on it—-

Casting its lovely reflection during the romantic evenings;

Leaving you smitten by its beauty:

Invigorating all your senses —- 

Every time you come across it—-

The magical pond weaves its spell of magic;

And the mystical aura of the long lost kingdom sets in;

Its green waters sparkle every moment:

Singing to the tune of the broad azure sky above it;

In memory of the Swayambara—-

Of Princess Bhanumati !!!!!!!!!
