Honey In The Mountain Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Honey in the Mountain
Date:14 May 2019
In the quest to find my own self,
I embarked on a journey that it purely mine
The divinity of the footprints in mind
Not worried about the path left behind

The cosmic energy to survive and drive
Not just surviving this enlarged universe
But the inner depth of my deeper echoes
Amidst the surreal vastness of the mountains

Oh Ganga!Flow down to grace us on land
Amidst the snow, the silence, the dense forests found
From the serenity of the mountains above
Come down and flow amidst the rocky path of our travels
Teaching me to love what I have than what I want
My mind in complete surrender from the rant

Oh Ganga!As I appealed to your warmth and embrace
I realised that ‘She is within you! '.Time to find ‘Her'
It can be the tears of joy or pain that flows
Down the temples of my breathing nose
It can be the drops of ecstasy or love that oozes
Amidst the rays of my inner valleys of eternity
Oh Ganga!As you flow down the Mighty Himalayas
You bring down with you the surge, the thoughts
The certitude of the soul emerging from your gushing sounds
As perfect bowl of happiness, an inner calmness
After your every flow, thoughts of wisdom emerge
Letting me think through the happiness surge

Oh Ganga…you are the honey in the mountains
That bring in the perfect solitude for my soul
Take me with you, into the depth of the woods
Down the valleys of love, peace and truths
Lonesomeness, peace, happiness and raga!
Into the serenity of life's only real saga!
