GOD'S LOFTY THOUGHTS
I had once visited that Enchanted Forest,
Near the verdant valley of Muflong,
In the abode of the floating clouds, -
called the Meghalayas,
Whose capital is Shillong.
I had ventured there with the desire
To find some exotic Orchid flowers,
And to bring back a few, by the evening
when I retire.
For this Enchanted Forest had lovely
blossoms, which always bloomed,
Wafting its fragrance, for a period of
twelve moons!
Soon I saw some creepers, coiled around
a big tall tree,
And out of it two exquisite flowers,
Kept peeping out at me!
Those rare and exotic flowers were
the only of its kind,
And I had stood there spell-bound,
Totally lost in time!
For those twin flowers bloomed,
Like some God's lofty thoughts!
Symbols of His benevolence, which our
world had forgot!

(Way back in 1976, posted at HQs
Eastern Air Command, I had visited
this forest!)
Like some God's lofty thoughts! Symbols of His benevolence, which our world had forgot! what a pleasant way to make HIS creation recognize, we experienced your experience through your wonderful lines, imagery is picturesque and more powerful than wordsworth's Daffodils. liked reading it.

I would like to translate this poem
Thank for leading us into the enchanted forest where Gods loftiest thoughts, those manifested in creation itself, are revealed to us.
