Sankhajit Bhattacharjee Poem 52

KANGCHENJUNGHA

Sun rays cover you with a golden gown,

while moonlight covers you with a silvery one.

You take bath in the seven hues of rainbow

to show your glamour under the crystal-clear sky.

Even Miss Universe will shatter all her beauty in front of you.

The great artist with one’s brush and ink

drew on the endless blue canvas

to create nature’s everlasting eternity.

Whenever I’m disheartened

your splendor brings smile on my lips-

happiness and peace surround me forever,

solace touches me

as mild breeze touches a water surface to make ripples.

The five snow-capped peaks are engraved inside my memory cells,

with death the latter will cease to exist

but the memory will remain alive forever in my consciousness.
