The Wilderness Poem by Rajagopalan Kumar

Up above the rising greens

Happy blues so free they sail

Rise from snowy peaks so frail

Know not where to the land of dreams.



Behind the moonlit water screen

Spread from heaven to earth so green

Ghostly trees they dance and scream

Like a shadow dance on the silver screen.



The night air icy chill so fresh

Smell of the damp dust and rush

Cry of a nocturnal owl from somewhere

Weird little shapes sprout from nowhere.
