_River Song_

Treading meandering paths,
 Feet wander through the misty clouds And the cold engulfs.
Gusts of frosty wind Blow against puffed-up cheeks That blush in the warmth of exercise.

Slowly, coyly, the translucent curtains of white
 Part And we are at the waterfront.
Rangit curls, twists and embraces The rocky ground And I am left to ponder – _Are
not earth and water one entity,_ _ As you and I;_ _ As air and fire?_

The icy water only kindles the sturdy land.
 Feet hesitantly stumble upon The steel-
grey chilliness of rock-splattered waters.

Sitting upon a rock,
 I am the sky, I am the clouds, I am the water, I am the rocks
And inside me Is the surety Of the river’s path And I fall silent.

Note:
 Rangit is a river in Sikkim
