The Valley Of The Invisibles Poem by Preeth Nambiar

They asked Him to bless them with a valley - the valley for the invisibles! And it was granted.

Upon the mountain of snow featherlike clouds wandered and sunshine peeped through them! Blushed snow melted and fled towards the valley to visit the invisibles. The rocks cracked themselves to leave their way; the pebbles melted and joined their path! From the unworn forests, embracing the freshness they gathered the essence for life. While joining the lake they whispered: "here is the valley of the invisibles, the rest of our journey! Feel their silence, their presence amidst the woods! "

They have been living here since ages, from the very birth of life. Lives, tired of births and deaths reach here, in the asylum, hold each other and kiss- a kiss in which their existence embraces each other to be one! Shadowless, through their transparency travelled the myriad colours of the nature! There is a melody flowing in the air, a melody that touches the hearts of the beloveds in union. Silence absorbed the melody and carried it in their heart. They say- it is for the presence of the invisibles, silence has a melody in it!

They didn't built houses to sleep beautiful nights! While the valley lit by fireflies illuminated in tranquil nights, they slept under the trees that withered flowers filling their dreams with heavenly fragrance. In the morning, the dew drops from the chilled leaves woke them up! They danced in ecstasy, when the sunshine twinkled upon the grass crafted magic upon the earth! The nectars of the wild fetch them with their deliciousness, leaving them cheerful for the day! Living justifies the very meaning of life, seasons the very voyage of time, else the states of changelessness! They embraced life, as it is!

Envied, the Gods approached their Lord- take back the valley, for heaven was then just another place to live! And God set his journey to the valley where the invisibles made a heaven of their own! Mesmerised He stood to perceive the beauty and the tranquility! He bathed in the streams, sat upon the bank, closed his eyes and observed the silence! It was beautiful! The invisibles came and danced around Him, the trees withered the flowers upon him! The nectars of the wild secreted deliciousness unto his lips! Drunk, He slept forgetting own existence! And when he woke up, whispered to the air - here I go, the Lord of the universe to my home that is not better than here!

I am here, upon this valley; I can hear their laughter, their whisperings and wish if I could be with them forever, invisible, in this valley of invisibles!
