Unforgettable Jorpokhri : Its really unforgettable.
With all Its serenity and solitude, Jorpokhri, a tiny place on hilltop stands only 19 km away from Darjeeling town in the state of West Bengal, India. You cannot resist to walk along its fascinating nature’s trail amidst the dhupi and pine forests at an altitude of 7,400 ft above sea level. Jorpokhri is part of Senchal forest and is a nature reserve. The entire area is maintained by Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC). I walked for hours alone in the woods, and could see, listen, touch and smell so much that I never had before. It was my poetic pilgrimage through the silent notes of nature. And I wrote all my feelings what I would like to share with you my friends…….
SILENT NOTES
There had I walked alone
Amidst the silence of woods,
Where I had no desire or fear of losing,
For a place yet unknown.
The breeze that brought the sweet fragrance
Of the flowers that bloomed anew,
And I felt the freshness of the petals
As fresh as morning dew.
My feet could listen the melodious notes
Of the path I walked for,
And my shadows followed my harmonious foot steps
That I never had perceived before.
The gurgling of the tiny streams
Seemed so lyrical and nice,
That the songs they were singing for,
Had not been sung so alive.
The light and shadows on the forest floor
Of the mystic dawn,
That turned my mind so tranquil and cool
As I walked on and on!
The vibrant casts of beaming sunshine
That burst through the forest mists,
Seemed to bring the message of God
Ushering all new hopes to live.
The birds that sang all unforgettable notes,
To bring the woods so alive,
And I saw the sign of resonance everywhere
Where lives ever cried for lives.
The cool breeze that whispered around
Sprinkled the morning dews,
That diluted all my teardrops
With all its goodness and hues.
My heart whispered all my unspoken words
For which I awaited so long,
Amidst the sounds of silence
To that eternal call.
There I left my tiny footprints
That might fade with time,
But my soul that resonated ever
Will remain and will never die.
