We met in the shadows of the multi-coloured mountains
We danced on the banks of Indus
The cool crisp afternoon
and the burning sun
and the moon! A sliver of white
against the blue sky
roofed the sleeping palace of rocks and dust
where its people are long gone
The steps weaving sands and stones
upwards, always upwards, to gold and red gonpas.
oh fair Ladakh. oh harsh Ladakh.
Will you not return my soul?
I recalled I wrote this poem somewhere, but I guess I forgot to upload it here.
I was seriously crying for 1 hour or so, as we flew to Sri Nagar to transfer to Delhi.
