The Himalayas

Roof of the world... Himalayas are one of the most fascinating marks of beauty on the face of earth.

The heritage of beauty 
with snow and ice . 
At the crown of India 
the Himalayas lies . 

The mother of rivers , 
Abode of snow , 
at height there is silence 
while flowers at low . 

Nearest to sea level 
at shivaliks reside , 
light hearted tribal people 
with small eyes . 

Along with roads at height 
glib streams flow down . 
Animals grazing at top 
never looking at ground . 

Above them , 
more meters few , 
Middle Hills will give 
their gorgeous view . 

the mixture of opposite 
you will find 
warmth and cold 
both combined . 
the tree guardians of mountains 
look white and green , 
like a green haired woman 
In her old age’s stream . 

in every part of day 
there’s beauty with might 
from the colorful sunrise 
till the middle of night . 

at the topmost height , 
challenge at first sight 
a region of danger 
where people loose their life 
covered with snow 
the beauty survive 

Created by a collision , 
many ages it has seen 
it will continue to be a legend 
which it always has been

I've read poems in Sanskrit on Himalayas. Although yours is in English, if it be translated into Sanskrit, it can almost equal a classical, divine-sublime poem. Excellent imagery, flow. You've done enough justice through your description to our legendary Himalayas. Could be better though. It's a pleasure to recite this poem.

I'm gonna bookmark this one. ;)
