Poem : Umiam

(A poem on Umiam Lake of Meghalaya ,India)

Though today the sky is cloudy,

Light and shadow softly play.

Umiam ---- around you gathers

A fair of trees in green array.

A gentle breeze flows calm and sweet,

Waves rise with a murmuring sound.

My soul finds peace beholding you ----

As though someone lit joy all around.

At the call of birds,

My heart longs to drift away.

My eyes are filled with your beauty ---

I wish to return someday.

O Umiam , O Umiam

I wish to come again someday.
