GOD'S LOFTY THOUGHTS
I had once visited that Enchanted Forest,
Near the verdant valley of Muflong,
In the abode of the floating clouds, -
called the Meghalayas,
Whose capital is Shillong.
I had ventured there with the desire
To find some exotic Orchid flowers,
And to bring back a few, by the evening
when I retire.
For this Enchanted Forest had lovely
blossoms, which always bloomed,
Wafting its fragrance, for a period of
twelve moons!
Soon I saw some creepers, coiled around
a big tall tree,
And out of it two exquisite flowers,
Kept peeping out at me!
Those rare and exotic flowers were
the only of its kind,
And I had stood there spell-bound,
Totally lost in time!
For those twin flowers bloomed,
Like some God's lofty thoughts!
Symbols of His benevolence, which our
world had forgot!

this forest!)
