Poetry from Nepal
Rainbow Landing
by Bipin Kathiwada
At the lap of the Himalayas
A water tap beckons
In harmony with hills
Full of rhododendrons
And valleys of corn
Where pigeons sing love
And an owl cries sorrow.
Snow peaks
Touch sages’ steps,
Moon night
Singing with friends,
I remember Mount Everest.
My Sagarmatha
Shines like a bright silver jacket.
Dark until trees touch light,
Clouds cover mountain peaks
Soft to touch.
Clouds take me hurriedly
Where rainbow lands with love.
It is my Nepal.
