Ranges


Ranges of mountains

Remind one of the stages

Of life. Hill upon hill adds

Charm to a land, its ethos.


The expanding ranges

Add length and width

To the pyramid shapes.

So the different phases


Widen and strengthen

A mind to be firm and fearless.

The hills carry forests, temples

Towers and castles excellent.


Man’s life too is marked

By adventure and achievement.

The ranges are symbols of eternity

Man is an epitome of God’s glory.



A poem by Jaya Lakshmi Rao V.
