A Tiny Poem Of Love Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Have you seen the valley of flowers?
located in west Himalaya
near Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara
it's known for its meadows of
Endemic Alpine flowers
and the variety of flora.

Do you know Joan Margaret Legge?
the botanist came to India in 1939
to study the flowers of thiis valley
she was traversing the rocky slopes
to collect a rare flower with strife
suddenly she slipped off
and lost her life.

Don't forget to see her memorial
if you go sometime
it's like a poem on Himalayan valley
a tiny poem of love
with wildflowers of mountain
it will touch your heart, I am sure
and you will like its rhyme.
