Matheran

A poem about a beautiful Indian Hill station.

 

Invisible to the naked eye

Hidden amongst the clouds

Magnificent throne of the sky  

Making India proud

 

Fresh streams flow down your cheeks

Like a good old morning cry

Just a poet trying to reach your peak

Meditating in the Indian sky

 

Railway tracks climbing up your spine

In the pursuit of an adventurous climb 

Embracing the sunshine

Experiencing natures prime

 

Wild horses run free

Like a scarf floating in the breeze

The whisper of the Arabian sea

Demands the dancing of the trees

 

Uplift me to the northern gates

Looking heaven in the face

Sitting in your lavish green estate

Never wanting to leave this place

 

I'm home Matheran

 

 

Author's Note

To travel to Matheran you need to park your car below and catch a tram that takes you up the hill. The place is so beautiful, it has wildlife, monkeys, scenery to die for and most of all it's peaceful. You feel at one with the earth, it's like mother nature planted a kiss on the cheek of the mountain and you can feel the after effects of her love.

I felt the peace here, you took me on an enlightened journey, lulls you into a harmonious state of being with the majesty of that mountain. The music adds to the ambiance of it all...touching upon more than one sense with this read. You've made it so tangible, I can practically breathe the fresh air within your work.

'The wild horses run free
Like a scarf floating in the breeze
The flowers playfully wink at me
As they sway in rhythm to the buzzing bees'

Winking flowers, love it! You are growing as a poet in leaps and bounds my friend...just lovely. Can't say more.

I love the way you said I can breathe the fresh air in your work, wow that touched me, I'm so humbled to have someone as talented and experienced as you review my work and compliment it. Just pull an eat pray love and come down to India already :D

This is beautiful Keegan. Absolutely beautiful. The views and reviews prove that andot is one of those poems which sort of take one to that place which the poet is describing. It really is blisdful and the font colour just adds to the wonderful experience for me.
And is this Matheran in the Himachal Pradesh?

[KeeD]

Thank you, i'm all smiles that this poem is appreciated as for me its a poem that actually reminds me of the place I would visit on school trips when I was a child. Matheran is a hill station in Maharashtra. West Coast of India. I'm so happy you took the time to read my work, for that kindness i'm truly grateful.

[Poussiere D'Ange]

The pleasure was mine, trust me. And I guessed it could be in the North, given the green and the clouds.:-):-):-D.

[KeeD]

[Poussiere D'Ange]

Mumbai seems fascinating. I'd like to go there sometime:-).

[KeeD]

Oh for sure, it's not much different from any other busy city but it has it's moments, its fine beautiful moments. If you're ever down, crash by for a meal or tea or something :D

[Poussiere D'Ange]

Oky thanks:-).

I was home too here, will come to India one day, and be guided as you describe here, such a inspiring people you are, rich of mind, and full of passion, in nature, and beauty all around. And all the old wisdoms, So refreshing this is! The music, sets me deeply to zen, as I love it. Lovely work my friend... :)

Beautiful poem.

[creativequill]

you always have such a way with imagery keegan :)

[Carly]

I love the mood of this. You did an excellent job of creating this image. Man, do I love the sitar.

This seems like it was very well thought out. Every word, every line seems to fit perfectly into place. I don't know if that was intentional, or if this is just how it seemed to flow. Regardless, it's great.

[KeeD]

Thanks Carly, I haven't checked my read requests lately but looking forward to reading your new stories >
