In mild mid summer a place to go,
Pristine waters and loving weather,
Glide on mesmerising Dal Lake,
An invite to enjoy intimate nature.
On a slow 'Shikara Ride' we go,
With fish flitting and linnets singing,
Pearl droplets rising off the oars,
A sprinkling of elixir on Neptune's roof.
Such moments suspended in time,
Forgotten.. the tears and angst of life,
Happy moments that bring such peace,
As nature's bounty is enjoyed.
To the east behind the busy Foreshore Road,
Attractive gardens and Hangul's abode,
To the west lies our holiest shrine,
All is perfect in heaven's garden.
The boat handler is so suave,
Calm and experienced, so strong,
We drift off into imaginary lands,
Into lives far removed from our own.
Enveloped by love and calm peace,
A gift from nature to all her offspring,
Beautiful sunrises and sunsets,
A commune with nature so wondrous.
