Goddess Of The Crescent Lake

I clutched the bare words into my palm
and hopped down the rickety bus
the overcast sky split and gave way
to a still somnolent sun
a cold breeze ruffled my sullen hair

Hello! cheered the shimmering lake
and wound itself around me in a tight embrace
a saffron flag fluttering in the north
brought a whiff of divine blessings
from the deity of the pristine valley

Hark! the crescent lake beckons again.
years have leapt past me
piling up the baggage of life
yet the longing refuses to abate
Call me home, O Goddess Naina Devi.
