In the Dark Wilderness,
I rest in the breast of a velvety grassland
Quietly, lie while listening to the song of my life
On the altar of my imagination, wishes burn every night
Calmly, I hear the melody of nature
With my shattered hopes and dreams,
I trace solace in the unknown region
I travel to distant hills to find the reason
To escape from this mundane world
I revisit the murals of unspoken verses
“In the wilderness, I fix all that is broken in this pagan world of mine ”
I try to amend the withered strings of relations
Divine hymns flow from the birdies
By unraveling the healing spirit of nature
I delve deep into the core of this realm
To sail in life’s neverending stream !
