..and thenSome!

I read this beautiful poem today morning. Many have spoken of Arunachal's beauty but very few have captured it so absolutely.

Experience Arunachal..

Do not stay too long
by the river.
The river is a
wayward god.
It is an elephant, a lion - sometimes they call it horse;
One Summer we thought it was a peacock,
turning in the yellow sand, filling our eyes with gold.
I saw a woman floating in a lily pond
In a mountain covered in mist,
wrapped in a cloud
streaming with tendrils and pollen dust
I thought the river is a woman.
A country , a name,
A note of music trapped in the white current.
A sheet of paper carrying a secret map-
The skyline is where it begins, between the darkness
and the summit in the birthplace of thirst.
Do not stay too long by the river.
It is a drowning spirit,
A strong armed god drawing and withdrawing such seasons-
Flowing River,
Standing Still;
River Sea. River Ocean.
River of all our summers collecting the salt of our lives.
